Clafoutis is an elegant yet very easy to prepare French dessert made with cherries arranged in a buttered dish and covered with a thick flan-like batter.Clafoutis is pronounced, ​kla-FOO-tee.  It a delicately sweet dessert whose elegance should not distract from its ease. This recipe is made using frozen cherries making it possible to prepare any time of year. Fresh, pitted cherries or even blueberries, blackberries or raspberries can be substituted.

French Cooking Series

This recipe for clafoutis is the third in a three-part series made together with my granddaughter and two of her best friends. The girls had such a good time cooking, learning and laughing and even better time eating the meal they prepared. 

Links to the previous French dished we made are listed below.

All of the recipes are from a lovely cookbook by Claudine Pepin. Let’s Cook French, a Family Cookbook includes recipes easy enough for kids yet delicious for family dinners and entertaining. I recommend the book and think it is a great gift-giving item that will be long enjoyed. You will also enjoy the illustrations by Jacques Pepin.

    We also discovered Clafoutis this summer and have served it many times. We tried varies fruits (strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, cherries) and found we like the cherry one best. Great photos as usual.
