Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F). Grease a 9-inch round baking dish or pie dish with the butter to prevent sticking.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and granulated sugar until well combined.
Add the eggs to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Gradually pour in the milk, followed by the heavy cream, whisking continuously to create a smooth batter.
Stir in the vanilla extract and dark rum (if using). Continue whisking until the batter is free of lumps.
Spread the diced mango, pineapple, and passion fruit pulp evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Carefully pour the batter over the fruit, ensuring the fruit is evenly distributed and submerged.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the clafouti is set and lightly golden brown on top.
Remove the clafouti from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. It will deflate a bit as it coolsβthis is normal.
Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor.
