Cherry Clafoutis Clafoutis Aux Cerises

Hi guys! First and foremost wishing all the mommies a happy Mother’s Day!! I would like to dedicate today’s post to my lovely Mom and Mom-in-law who have been amazing mother’s standing strong through all the bumps in the road, setting an example for me to follow. Love you both ☺ To celebrate this day I made Cherry Clafoutis (Clafoutis aux cerises). Sounds fancy? Yup, it is a pretty fancy French dessert name but requires absolutely no expertise to make one.

What is Clafoutis?

Clafoutis pronounced as klah-foo-tee is a yummy French dessert, wherein fruits (traditionally unpitted cherries) are placed at the bottom of a generously buttered baking dish followed by a thick dense pancake-like batter poured over it, and baked to a lovely golden brown crust. It is best served warm, with whipped cream or creme fraiche or even ice cream This dessert originated in the French region of Limousin, known for its abundance of cherry produce. Cherry is known as cerise in French and hence the name of this dessert. You can easily make clafoutis with any other seasonal fruits too. My good friend, James, shared this recipe for cherry clafoutis almost a year ago! I was just lazy then, and never got to making it! I’m so glad I did end up trying it today!
