    Cherry ClafoutisPin

    Clafoutis is a delicious French baked dessert that is a cross between a cake and custard, and is perfect for summer. Traditional clafoutis are made using cherries with their pits still in, which are supposed to add more flavor to the dish. In this recipe the pits are removed, making this dessert easier to eat, but you can do it either way. There are many variations of clafoutis using different fruits, depending on the recipe, and this one is my recipe for you guys.

    The clafoutis is best served warm with a dusting of powdered sugar and vanilla ice cream on the side.

      This is cruel! We won't have cherries here for months yet, and I want, I want, I want!
      Well, I will calm myself and think of it as a promise of good things to come!
      Thanks Erica

      Wow I can not tell you how good that looks, I think I am with you, I would prefer the cherry without stones. It is not very elegant to spit out pitts while you are eating. 🙂

      Okay, now I know what I'm doing with some of the beautiful cherries I just recently bought. I really thought making a clafoutis was harder than this.
      Thanks for the incentive.

      I need to try again with clafoutis. I attempted a blackberry version a couple of weeks ago, and it didn't turn out well at all. Too firm on the bottom and too goopy on top. Yours looks great, and now I'm inspired to try again!

      A wonderful clafoutis! I actually made one just a few days ago but I'm a bit shy about posting a photo of it - the cherries sunk to the bottom so it doesn't have the rich, juicy, fruity look of yours. I will have to try your recipe instead - it would be a great reason to buy more cherries! 😎

      I had been seeing so many clafoutis that i had to make mine last week., with peach and cherry. What a neat idea to serve it with ice cream. We ate ours straight out of the oven. beautiful pictures.
