Cherry Clafoutis

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Cherry Clafoutis is a French dessert which is basically a custard with unpitted black cherries. The cherries were left unpitted so as to impart an almond flavor to the dessert.

Cherry Clafouti

This recipe uses pitted cherries with almond extract instead of vanilla extract. If desired, you can replace the almond extract with vanilla extract or use half of each.
Clafoutis may be made with any number of fruits. Simply whip up the batter, pour it over the fruit and bake. Serve leftover Clafouti cold with cream.
