INGREDIENTS

1 lb fresh cherries, pitted

3 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp almond extract

1/4 tsp salt

2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Powdered sugar (for dusting)

INSTRUCTIONS

1) Preheat your oven to 350F (175C). Grease a 9-inch round baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

2) Evenly distribute the pitted cherries in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

3) In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, flour, vanilla extract, almond extract, salt, and melted butter. Blend until smooth and well combined.

4) Pour the batter over the cherries in the baking dish, making sure the cherries are evenly distributed.

5) Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the clafoutis is set and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

6) Allow the clafoutis to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature.
