Clafutti with cherries
4 servings
30 minutes
Cherry clafoutis is an exquisite dessert from France that has become beloved worldwide. Its delicate, slightly baked texture resembles a cross between a pie and a souffle, while the juicy cherries add a pleasant tartness that contrasts with the sweet batter. Traditionally served slightly warm and dusted with powdered sugar, it becomes especially appetizing. This dessert is versatile – it can be enjoyed as a standalone dish with a cup of tea or coffee or complemented with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to enhance its creamy notes. The simplicity of preparation makes clafoutis a favorite choice for family dinners and festive gatherings, as it offers both a sense of homey comfort and culinary artistry.
