Cherry Clafoutis

A simple and easy dessert that is great to whip up for unexpected guests, weekends, or anytime you want a quick treat.

Clafoutis is  a baked French dessert of fruit, traditionally black cherries arranged in a buttered dish and covered with a thick pancake or flan-like batter. The Clafoutis is dusted with powdered sugar and served lukewarm, sometimes with cream. The best part is you can use any fruit. I love cherry and blueberry the most.

Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon butter at room temperature
• 4 large eggs
• 1 1/4 cups whole milk
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups cherries (or any other fruit) you can use frozen.
• Powered sugar for sprinkling
• Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and butter a large 9×13  baking dish or cast iron pan.
2. In a blender or food processor add all of the ingredients minus the berries. Blend until smooth.
3. Pour into the baking dish and then drop the berries all around the pan, try to make it even.
4. Bake until golden brown. 45-60 minutes. It should resemble the consistency of flan.
5. Sprinkle with powered sugar all over.
6. Serve immediately as is, with cream, or even vanilla ice cream.
7. ENJOY!
