Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh bing cherries, stemmed and pitted (about 1 lb)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 tablespoons cherry brandy (substitute cherry simple syrup)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, or as needed to grease baking dish
  • 3 large free-range eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon pure almond extract
  • 3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground Himalayan pink salt
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, for dusting, optional

How To Make cherry clafoutis

  • Step 1
    In a bowl, add prepped cherries and sprinkle with 2 tbsp. granulated sugar; stir to coat. Pour in cherry brandy, stir well and macerate the fruits for 1 hour.
  • Step 2
    Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • Step 3
    Grease a 3-quart oval baking dish with butter. Sprinkle 1 to 1 ½ tbsp. granulated sugar and swirl to coat the bottom and the sides of the dish.
  • Step 4
    Using a slotted spoon, transfer cherries to the prepared baking dish and disperse them evenly. Set aside and reserve the macerated juice.
  • Step 5
    In the jar of a blender, add eggs, milk, ¼ cup granulated sugar, reserved macerated juice, vanilla extract and almond extract. Process until combined.
  • Step 6
    In a small bowl, add flour and salt; whisk well.
  • Step 7
    Add flour mixture to the blender and process until batter is smooth, cleaning the sides of the jar.
  • Step 8
    Slowly pour batter over the cherries; if some have shifted, push them back so they’re evenly spread out.
  • Step 9
    Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown. During baking time, if the top gets too dark, loosely tent with aluminum foil.
  • Step 10
    Remove from the heat and let it cool for 30 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar.
