Indulge in the delightful harmony of flavors with Clafoutis aux Cerises Jaunes, a classic French dessert that showcases the sweet, juicy essence of yellow cherries enveloped in a creamy, custard-like batter.

Serves 8

Ingredients

Powdered sugar
for dusting
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
Milk
1 cup
Eggs
3 large
Salt
1/4 teaspoon
Granulated sugar
1/2 cup
All-purpose flour
1/2 cup
Yellow cherries
2 cups, pitted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Arrange the pitted yellow cherries in a single layer at the bottom of the greased baking dish.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, then add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully combined.
  5. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  6. Gently pour the batter over the cherries in the baking dish, ensuring the cherries are evenly distributed.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the clafoutis is set in the center and golden brown on top.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving for an elegant finish. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips

  • 💡 For a twist, try adding a splash of almond extract or a handful of sliced almonds for added texture and flavor.
  • 💡 You can substitute yellow cherries with other fruits such as blueberries, raspberries, or even peaches, depending on what’s in season.
  • 💡 Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; simply reheat in a warm oven before serving.
