This traditional country French dessert can be
made with cherries, plums, peaches, pears
or any other berry. We have added finely
ground almonds or hazelnuts for that certain
“je ne sais quoi”.

plus baking time.

2 teaspoons unsalted butter, melted

sugar. Place 1/4-cup of the sugar and the
nuts in blender jar; cover blender jar. Set on
Low and pulse 10 to 15 times to chop the
nuts. Add the evaporated milk, cream, eggs,
vanilla, brandy, salt, flour, and cinnamon.
Blend for 10 seconds. Mixture will be
smooth and creamy – do not overblend.
Arrange the cherries in the bottom of the
prepared baking dish. Carefully pour the
batter over the cherries. Place in the
preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes.
After 35 minutes, sprinkle evenly with the
remaining 2 teaspoons of sugar. Continue
to bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes,
until the Clafoutis is puffed and golden
brown. Remove from the oven and cool for
10 minutes before serving. Serve with
sweetened whipped cream.
