Cherry Clafoutis
Description
Cherry Clafoutis combines eggs, whole milk, Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, flour, sea salt, vanilla, almond extract, melted butter, and lemon zest to form a smooth batter. After resting, the batter is divided into greased ramekins and topped with sweet or tart cherries. Baking at 350°F for 30-35 minutes yields a delicately set, lightly browned custard around the fruit.
The finished clafoutis has a tender, creamy texture with a slight sweetness and subtle almond and lemon notes. The cherries add juicy bursts throughout the dish. Dusting with powdered sugar and sliced toasted almonds adds a pleasant crunch and decorative touch.
This dessert is best served warm or at room temperature. It can be a refined yet simple way to showcase seasonal cherries and pairs nicely with coffee or tea.
