Cherry Clafoutis, French Desserts Recipe, Pinterest

Itโ€™s cherry season and we canโ€™t think of anything better than snacking on fresh, juicy cherries. All day long. Theyโ€™re the star of so many summer desserts, but we also love something easy and quick like this simple Cherry Clafoutis. It’s a wonderful addition to any summer party or barbecue, but still casual enough for a sweet family treat during the week.

This simple Cherry Clafoutis couldnโ€™t be easier to make, and thanks to Kellie Hemmerly of the Suburban Soapbox we’re sharing the recipe with you.

The batter comes together in just about a minute with the help of your blender. It has the consistency of crรชpe batter, thin and lightโ€ฆbut bakes into the most wonderful custard-like cake. A clafoutis can be made with just about any fruit, but we especially love to toss a few sliced cherries into ours. Theyโ€™re the perfect combination of tart and sweet, pairing extremely well with the creamy cake.

Bake your Cherry Clafoutis in a cast iron skillet for a little extra texture on the bottom or bake it in a regular casserole dish for a lighter texture. Dusted lightly with a bit of powdered sugar, this dessert is a dream come true just as it is. If you’re in the mood for something extra then top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly show-stopping bite filled with summertime sweetness.
