A simple, creamy custard dessert baked with fresh strawberries, perfect for easy spring gatherings and light desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • Optional: splash of almond extract
  • Optional: powdered sugar for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly butter a 9-inch baking dish.
  2. Rinse, hull, and halve the strawberries. Pat dry and spread evenly in the baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, beat eggs until smooth. Add milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and melted butter; whisk to combine.
  5. Gradually pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, whisking continuously until smooth and slightly thickened.
  6. Pour the custard batter over the strawberries, ensuring even coverage.
  7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is golden and custard is set but slightly wobbly in the center.
  8. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overbake to keep custard tender. Dust strawberries lightly with flour before pouring batter to suspend fruit evenly. Cover edges with foil if browning too fast. Use room temperature eggs for smooth custard. Can substitute almond flour for gluten-free version. For vegan version, use flax or chia eggs and plant-based milk and cream.
