CHERRY CLAFOUTIS



Cherry Clafoutis image

This classic French dessert looks fancy, but it is a cinch to make. I use yogurt in my clafoutis, although it isn't traditional (the French use cream). And I always enjoy leftovers for breakfast.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield Serves eight

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds (about 5 cups) fresh ripe cherries, stemmed and pitted if desired
2 tablespoons kirsch
6 tablespoons sugar
3 large eggs
1 vanilla bean, scraped
Pinch of salt
2/3 cup sifted unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup low-fat yogurt
2 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Toss the cherries with the kirsch and 2 tablespoons of the sugar, and let sit for 30 minutes. Drain over a bowl.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 10- or 10 1/2-inch ceramic tart pan or clafouti dish. Fill the dish with the drained cherries.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the remaining sugar and the seeds from the vanilla bean. Add the salt and the liquid from the cherries, and combine well. Slowly beat in the flour, and whisk until smooth. Add the yogurt and milk, and combine well. Pour over the cherries, scraping out all of the batter with a rubber spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes until the top is browned and the clafouti is firm and puffed. Press gently on the top in the middle to see if it's firm. If not, return to the oven for five minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and cool on a rack. When the clafouti is warm or cool, sift on the powdered sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CHERRY CLAFOUTIS



Cherry Clafoutis image

Provided by Sandra Lee

Categories     dessert

Time 2h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup pancake mix
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
3 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
1 (12-ounce) package frozen pitted cherries, thawed and drained, juices reserved
1 cup French vanilla ice cream
Confectioners' sugar, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch deep pie dish with nonstick cooking spray and place on a baking sheet.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the pancake mix and sugar. In a large measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, butter, extract and eggs. Whisk the liquid ingredients into the dry. Evenly distribute the cherries in the bottom of the pie dish. Pour the batter over top of the cherries and bake until the center is set and the edges are golden, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature, about 1 hour, before slicing. To serve, place ice cream in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for about 45 seconds until the ice cream is melted. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the reserved cherry juice. Place a slice of the clafoutis onto a desert place. Drizzle with the sauce and dust with confectioners' sugar.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use fresh dark or sour cherries for the best flavor. If using frozen cherries, thaw them and drain them thoroughly before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough clafoutis.
  • Use a baking dish that is at least 9 inches in diameter. A larger baking dish will result in a thinner clafoutis.
  • Bake the clafoutis until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the clafoutis warm or at room temperature. It can be topped with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries.

Conclusion:

Cherry clafoutis is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and rustic charm, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give cherry clafoutis a try. You won't be disappointed!
