About Cherry Clafoutis
Traditionally Cherry Clafoutis is made with the cherry pits left in, due to the flavor they add to the cake. In this recipe, I also left the pits inside the cherries. It doesn’t only saves you time, but it also adds an additional layer of flavor.
If you prefer to take them out, you can add a few drops of almond extract. But, if you do decide to leave the pits inside, don’t forget to let everyone know before you share. Especially kids!
Now, in terms of making the Cherry Clafoutis, it can’t be any easier!
You can mix everything by hand or you can use a blender. Either way works.
Ingredients are pretty simple, nothing unusual or hard to find. Of course, the best time to make this is during a cherry season. I haven’t tried using frozen cherries, so I’m not sure how will it turn out. But, if I try, I will update you on that.
