Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups of fresh sweet cherries, pitted
2 tablespoons of blanched slivered almonds
3 eggs
1/2 cup of sugar (can reduce to 1/4 cup)
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of milk (2% or whole milk)
3/4 teaspoon of almond extract (can sub 2 teaspoons of Amaretto)
1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
Powdered sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Make the batter: Whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until combined. Whisk in the salt and flour until smooth. Then whisk in the milk, almond extract, and vanilla extract
  • Bake: Bake at 350°F for 35 to 45 minutes or until lightly browned and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Check about halfway through the baking, and if the top is getting well browned, tent it loosely with aluminum foil.
  • Remove from the oven to cool: When you pull it out of the oven, it will wiggle a bit, which is normal. Place on a wire rack to cool. The clafoutis will have puffed up quite a bit and will deflate while cooling.
  • Dust with powdered sugar: When cool, dust the clafoutis with powdered sugar. Serve.
