FFWD Whole-Cherry Clafoutis



For some reason, I associate clafoutis with Ina Garten.  They obviously are a classic French dish, but I think watching the Barefoot Contessa make them must have been my introduction to the dish.  Although she always make them look delicious and easy, I never got around to making one.  I'm glad FFWD gave me the push I needed.  This was ridiculously quick and easy--I was able to prepare it in the short time that Charlotte sat happily in her bouncy seat looking out the window--and we both really enjoyed it.  Custard is probably my favorite dessert and I loved the subtle flavor of this one, and it's hard to go wrong with fresh summer cherries.  I kept forgetting the cherries had pits in them which made this a bit of a challenge to eat, but I loved how flavorful and juicy the cherries stayed, and it was so much easier than pitting them.  This is definitely one I'll make again.  Hopefully with all kinds of fruit.

  3. I seem to be the only one in the group with no recollection of this dessert at all. Though most of my life I never could afford French restaurants and I never cooked French food... probably why?? Yours looks lovely. I could never be so brave as to go whole cherries just too dangerous I can be a bit of an absentminded eater too.
