I don’t know why, but every year when the cherry season comes, the first thing I can think of is Cherry Clafoutis. This recipe is one you don’t want to miss this summer!

Have you tried it before?

If you haven’t, it’s a custardy type of dessert. And super easy to make!

Traditionally it’s 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 that layer of flavor.

If you prefer to take them out, you can add 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 therms 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.

The main ingredients for this recipe are :

Cherries (obviously) & Shaved Almonds

Eggs & Flour

Sugar & Milk

Touch of salt and drizzle of vanilla extract

In a blender or a bowl, combine all the ingredients, except the cherries and almonds. Mixing till smooth consistency. Butter an 8-inch baking dish, add the cherries and pure over the batter. On top, I add the shaved almonds.

That’s it! Bake. Cool. And eat.

You can make this last minute, if you are running out of time, or have unexpected guests. You’ll definitely impress everyone!

It’s not overly sweet, and the texture is so light and delicate. Not your typical heavy dessert.

The great thing about it is, you can bake it the night before and it will be perfect the next day. Can be stored in the fridge and it tastes delicious cold.
