How to Make Cherry Clafouti

Step 1: Gather and prepare all ingredients. Prepare glass baking dish with non-stick spray and preheat oven to 350F degrees.

Wash and remove pits from fresh cherries, or thaw frozen cherries and pat dry.

Allow eggs to come to room temperature.

Step 2: Add cherries to prepared baking dish.

Step 3: In a blender (affiliate link), add the room temperature eggs, milk, honey and almond extract and blend just until mixed. Add the pastry flour and salt and pulse until blended.

Step 4: Pour batter evenly over cherries

and top with sliced almonds.

Step 5: Bake in preheated oven about 45 - 50 minutes, until golden and puffy.

Step 6: Remove to a wire rack to cool for at least 20 minutes.

Dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired. Cut into 12 squares and serve warm.

Recipe Notes, Variations and Substitutions

As Camilla notes in the original recipe, "Clafouti is a traditional French country dessert that tastes like a cross between a custard or flan and a fruit-filled pancake. Traditional versions use cherries, but any fruit can be used, including apples, berries, sliced pears, peaches,  plums or apricots. It will puff up dramatically during baking, then collapse. Let it cool slightly before serving, then chill the leftovers for a delicious breakfast treat the next morning." 

To keep this clafoutis gluten free substitute your favorite gluten free flour (affiliate link) blend. 

Feel free to use any type of milk to make this clafoutis and to keep it low fat, be sure to choose low-fat, skim or your favorite unsweetened non-dairy milk beverage.

Serving Suggestions

A slice of clafoutis pairs well with a small bowl of yogurt and fresh fruit.

Individually wrap your clafoutis slices for a quick grab-n-go breakfast, or snack, which works well when you're short on time in the morning.

Ways to Use Leftovers

This Cherry Clafouti makes a nice leftover breakfast, served warm from the oven, toaster oven or microwave (affiliate link), or at room temperature, or chilled right out of the refrigerator on a warm day.

It can also be enjoyed as a simple dessert all by itself, with a dusting of powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped topping.
