Traditional clafoutis settles into a texture right between a delicate crepe and a baked custard. Sweet cherries release their juices as the batter puffs and browns gently at the edges. Snap a photo of your slice with CaloVibe to register your dessert macros in seconds.

Ingredients

350 g sweet dark cherries, pitted
3 large eggs, room temperature
240 ml whole milk
65 g granulated sugar
60 g all-purpose flour
14 g unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 pinch fine sea salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 23-centimeter (9-inch) round baking dish with half the melted butter.
Arrange the pitted cherries in a single snug layer across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Whisk eggs, sugar, flour, milk, remaining butter, vanilla, and salt in a bowl until the batter is smooth and frothy.
Pour the batter gently over the cherries and bake for 35 to 38 minutes until puffed, set in the center, and lightly browned.

Tips

Let the dish rest for 10 minutes before serving so the custard sets cleanly for slicing.
Frozen dark cherries work well if thawed and patted thoroughly dry with paper towels beforehand.
