Ingredients

  • fresh sweet cherries

    pitted

    1 ½ c
  • eggs

    room temperature

    3 large
  • all-purpose flour
    ½ c
  • granulated sugar

    plus 2 tablespoons for topping

    ½ c
  • whole milk

    or half and half

    1 c
  • vanilla extract
    1 ½ tsp
  • almond extract
    ½ tsp
  • salt
    ¼ tsp
  • Powdered sugar

    for dusting on top

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter the bottom of a 9 or 10-inch baking dish or pie plate to prevent sticking and add flavor.

  2. 2

    Evenly distribute the pitted cherries around the bottom of the prepared baking dish, ensuring each bite will have fruit.

  3. 3

    In a blender, combine the eggs, granulated sugar (reserving 2 tablespoons for topping), milk, flour, vanilla and almond extracts, and salt. Blend until the batter is smooth and well mixed.

  4. 4

    Pour the blended batter over the cherries in the dish, then sprinkle the reserved 2 tablespoons of sugar evenly on top to create a delicate crust.

  5. 5

    Bake the clafoutis for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the custard is set and lightly golden on top. Avoid overbaking to maintain a tender texture.

  6. 6

    Allow the clafoutis to cool for at least 15 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy warm, at room temperature, or cold, according to preference.

  7. 7

    Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, covered.
