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.

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.

The custard didn't set properly and the clafoutis was runny.

This clafoutis was a little too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the sugar next time.

This clafoutis is a great make-ahead dessert. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day.

I added a bit of almond extract to the custard and it gave it a lovely flavor.

I used frozen cherries and it turned out great! The custard was light and fluffy and the cherries were sweet and juicy.
