Cherry Clafoutis with whipped cream


As previously mentioned I had some left over cherries from Christmas which I froze. Then wanting to make a special dessert for mum and myself I whipped this up. It was easy, fast and yummy. This recipe is best for the cold weather though as it's a hot dessert. Just as a tip, the original recipe said to serve hot but I would leave it at least 5 min, otherwise it breaks as you serve it like mine did! Don't worry though, it was still taste good.

Ingredients
800 g frozen cherries (well drained)
1/2 cup plain flour
pinch salt
1/3 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup milk
1 tsp melted butter
icing sugar, to serve
whipped cream, to serve

Method
  1. Grease a 23 cm pie tin with butter, and lay out the cherries evenly.
  2. Preheat oven to 180C.
  3. Combine sifted flour, salt and sugar in a bowl.
  4. Mix eggs, milk and vanilla in a separate bowl.
  5. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and gradually incorporate wet ingredients, then beat until smooth.
  6. Pour mixture over cherries and bake at 180 for 30 min or until risen and golden brown.
  7. Dust with icing sugar and top with whipped cream.
