When a crate of cherries landed on our doorstep I knew two things, 1) I needed a cherry pitter and 2) I had to make Cherry Clafoutis. This recipe came drifting into my memory from a time long ago when I was visiting my aunt. A classic French dessert passed down from my grandmother, Cherry Clafoutis is surprisingly easy and can be made with any fresh berries or stone fruit in season.
Each forkful brings you a creamy vanilla custard filling interlaced with the caramel flavours of roasted cherries. Cherries are a delicious superfood packed with antioxidants, vitamin C and even melatonin for a restful nights sleep. No excuse to skip on dessert!
You can pit your cherries with a stainless steel straw (just carefully push it through the cherry centre to push out the pit), or else if you have a ton like we did I recommend something like the OXO good grips cherry pitter, and an apron!
Let’s get to it!
A classic french dessert that’s simple to make and sure to impress your family and guests. Enjoy the creamy custard base that shows off summer’s abundance of berries or stone fruit.
We hope you enjoy these flavours of France and fill your kitchen with the delicious aroma of Cherry Clafoutis this summer.
