Description
Cherry Clafoutis was the first French dessert I ever tried, made by a dear neighbor who believed in sharing food like love—warm and abundant. This custardy, cake-like dish is bursting with sweet cherries and lightly golden on top. It’s perfect served warm with a dusting of sugar and a good story on the side.
Ingredients
1½ cups fresh sweet cherries, pitted (or 1 can, drained)
3 large eggs (room temperature)
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar (plus 2 tbsp for topping)
1 cup whole milk (or half and half)
1½ tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp almond extract
¼ tsp salt
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously butter a 9 or 10-inch pie plate.
Spread cherries evenly over the bottom.
In a blender, combine eggs, ½ cup sugar, milk, flour, vanilla, almond extract, and salt. Blend until smooth.
Pour batter over cherries. Sprinkle top with reserved 2 tbsp sugar.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until puffed and golden. Center should be just set.
Cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Delicate, fruity, and perfectly rustic—this clafoutis is as lovely to look at as it is to eat.
