Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound fresh cherries, stemmed and pitted, or frozen pitted cherries, thawed, drained
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
4 large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Powdered sugar
Special Equipment
10" springform cake pan or eight 2/3 or 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter cake pan or ramekins. Arrange cherries in a single layer in pan.
  • Combine milk and cream in a small saucepan; bring just to a simmer over medium heat. Set aside. Combine eggs, flour, sugar, lemon zest, vanilla, and salt in a medium bowl; whisk to blend. Gradually whisk in hot milk mixture; whisk until custard is smooth. Pour custard evenly over cherries in pan. If necessary, gently shake pan to allow custard to settle.
  • Bake clafouti until custard is set and top is golden brown, about 30 minutes for ramekins and 45-55 minutes for cake pan. Let cool 3 minutes, then run a knife around pan sides to loosen clafouti (if using a cake pan). Dust top with powdered sugar; cut into wedges and serve.

This cherry clafouti was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less sugar next time.

I found this clafouti to be a bit dry. I think I would add more milk or cream next time.

This cherry clafouti was a delight! The texture was perfect - soft and custardy in the center, with a slightly crispy top. The cherries added a burst of sweetness and tartness that balanced out the richness of the custard. I would definitely make thi
