Cherry Clafoutis

recipe-img

Description

Traditional clafoutis is made with cherries that still have their pits. The pits give some almond flavor to the dish. But prepared that way can be a little more difficult to eat, so in this recipe, we've pitted the cherries first. You can leave them in if you want. Note that the texture of clafoutis is like a sturdy custard, so if it feels a little rubbery, that's just how it's supposed to be. Feel free to reduce the sugar to 1/4 cup if you are working with very sweet cherries, or would prefer a less sweet clafoutis.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups fresh sweet cherries, pitted
  • 2 tablespoons blanched slivered almonds
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (can reduce to 1/4 cup)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole or 2% milk
  • 3/4 teaspoon almond extract (can sub 2 teaspoons of amaretto)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
