Print Recipe

A simple, creamy, and indulgent baked dessert featuring tart sour cherries in a light custard-like batter, perfect for summer gatherings or casual dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300g) sour cherries, pitted
  • 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Unsalted butter, for greasing the baking dish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Generously butter a 9-inch (23cm) round or square oven-safe baking dish, covering the bottom and sides.
  3. Pit the sour cherries if not pre-pitted.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  5. In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs until lightly frothy. Add the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, mixing gently.
  6. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and somewhat thin, like pancake batter consistency.
  7. Fold the pitted sour cherries gently into the batter to keep them intact and evenly distributed.
  8. Pour the batter with cherries into the buttered baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the edges are puffed and golden and the center is set but still slightly jiggly when gently shaken.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool on a rack for about 10 minutes; it will deflate slightly.
  11. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or topped with whipped cream.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and dairy for smooth batter. Butter the baking dish generously to prevent sticking. If edges brown too fast, tent with foil after 25 minutes. Let the clafoutis rest after baking to set custard properly. Frozen cherries should be thawed and drained well. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour. Dairy-free options include plant-based milks like oat or coconut milk.
