Cherry Clafoutis is a rustic French dessert made with cherries and a rich dense custard. We love it warm from the oven with a dusting of powdered sugar.

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons Salted Butter
3 Large Eggs
¾ Cups Whole Milk
½ Cup Heavy Cream
½ Cup Granulated Sugar Divided ¼ Cup in the Batter and ¼ Cup to Top the Batter
1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
¼ Teaspoon Salt
1 Cup All Purpose Flour
3 Cups Cherries Stemmed, Rinsed, Pitted, Drained
Powdered Sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Put the butter in a 10-inch flameproof baking dish. Melt it over medium-low heat on the stove. Remove from heat and set it aside for later.
2 Tablespoons Salted Butter
Whisk the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, ¼ cup granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until all is well beaten. Add the flour and continue to whisk until it is fully incorporated.
3 Large Eggs, ¾ Cups Whole Milk, ½ Cup Heavy Cream, ½ Cup Granulated Sugar, 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract, ¼ Teaspoon Salt, 1 Cup All Purpose Flour
Pour the batter into the baking dish. Arrange the cherries evenly over the top of the batter and sprinkle the top of the batter with the reserved ¼ cup of granulated sugar.
3 Cups Cherries
Bake 35 to 45 minutes until set, puffed, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cherry clafoutis from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar and serve while still warm.

Notes

My Top Tips

♡ Use Less Fruit. Sometimes you might not have the full amount of fruit listed in this recipe. The good news is this recipe can be made with less fruit by halving the cherries.

♡ Change the Texture. The amount of flour varies the texture. The ½ cup of flour in this recipe makes a firm but still tender custard. Change the flour to 1 cup and the texture becomes more like a bread pudding.

Make-Ahead, Storage, & Reheating

Make-Ahead: This recipe is best when made just before serving and can be assembled before dinner and then baked during dinner.

Storage & Reheating: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container and gently warmed in the microwave before serving.
