Description

The combination of cherries and almond flavoring make this dessert a home run. Clafouti is an easy (and delicious) way to use up summer fruits.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Pitted Cherries (frozen Is Fine)
  • 3  Eggs
  • ¾ cups Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • ½ cups All Purpose Flour, Sifted
  • ⅛ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 cup Whole Milk
  • ¾ teaspoons Almond Extract
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • Powdered Sugar (optional, For Dusting)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly spray a 10×7-inch baking dish with non-stick spray. Add the cherries into the sprayed dish.

Whisk the eggs, sugars, salt and flour in a medium-sized bowl until smooth.

Add milk, almond extract and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and continue whisking until smooth. Pour mixture into the baking dish.

Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until lightly browned (a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean). Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. The clafouti will puff up while baking and deflate while cooling.

Slice and serve after the clafouti has cooled. You can dust with powdered sugar if desired (I usually skip this). Refrigerate leftovers (I’m giving you permission to eat the leftovers for breakfast).
