Seasons of a Pastry Chef- Cherry Clafoutis

Arrow


The styling for this dessert begins with choosing your ramekin. Here, I used mini oven-to-table dishes, which work great as this dish is best served warm. I also like the rustic look of the dishes (vs. a ramekin) because this is a rustic-style dessert with no precision needed. Simply throw your pitted cherries into the dish, and let them fall where they may. As the batter bakes, those cherries will peek through. Just be sure to let the dessert cool slightly before adding the confectioners’ sugar or the sugar will melt into the dessert and won’t be visible.
