I made this clafouti for a party and it was a hit! Everyone loved it. The clafouti was light and fluffy, and the cherries added a burst of sweetness. I will definitely be making this again.

This clafouti was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still enjoyable. The cherries were sweet and juicy, and the custard was creamy and flavorful. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
