Bonjour! Bienvenue! Thank you for joining us today in the kitchen as we make this delicious French classic dessert. Cherry clafoutis. So easy, you only need your bowl and whisk and your dish to bake in the oven. We love a one bowl prep kind of dessert when you want to make something quickly. This dessert can be made as a rustic family serve ( as we have at home) or made in individual serves if you have the kitchenware.
A beautiful classic French dessert originally from the Limousin region in France. Typically made with fresh cherries, a baked dessert where the fruits are covered with a thick flan like batter and baked in the oven. It can be served like warm or cold. We love it with the optional addition of almond extract in the recipe as the historical recipe would use the kernels of the cherries and this would impart the almond like flavour. Easier to use the extract though. I truly hope you enjoy this beautiful dessert!
You can use any fruit really, but a clafoutis is usually just cherries, otherwise it is termed a Flaugnarde. Very French indeed 😊.
We don’t have cherries at the moment so I used the ones in the jar and we actually love it like this. Give it a try and let me know what you think. Happy baking my lovely ones ❤️🍒
