Try a twist on clafoutis, a French baked dessert with a creamy base and sharp cherries. We've added a boozy punch with kirsch and served it with ice cream

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

150g caster sugar
50ml kirsch
225g cherries, pitted and kept whole
¼ tsp almond extract (optional)
2 large eggs and 2 egg yolks (freeze the whites for another recipe)
200ml double cream
45g plain flour
butter, for the dishes
1 tbsp icing sugar
vanilla ice cream, to serve

Steps:

  • Simmer 50g of the caster sugar and the kirsch together in a pan over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the cherries and simmer for 1-2 mins until softened slightly and you have a syrup. Pour into a bowl and set aside to cool.
  • Whisk the almond extract, if using, with the eggs, yolks and remaining 100g caster sugar in a bowl until smooth. Whisk in the cream and flour to combine. Leave for 10 mins to rest. After that, it should be the consistency of pancake batter.
  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Butter six shallow ceramic dishes (ours were 125ml, 10cm round and 2.5cm deep.) Divide the cherries between the dishes, pour over the batter, then drizzle the cherry juices over the top.
  • Put on a baking sheet and bake for 25 mins until golden brown. (They will deflate once out of the oven.) Dust the icing sugar over the top and serve warm with the ice cream.
