A silky, creamy cherry clafoutis made with almond flour for a delicate nutty undertone and gluten-free twist. Perfect for a quick dessert or brunch treat with fresh cherries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted (about 300 grams)
  • 1 cup almond flour (96 grams)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup whole milk (240 ml)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for greasing
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter your baking dish generously to prevent sticking and add flavor.
  2. Wash and pit about 2 cups (300 grams) of fresh cherries. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat 3 large eggs until frothy (about 1-2 minutes). Add ½ cup (100 grams) sugar and whisk until combined and slightly thickened. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ¼ teaspoon almond extract if using.
  4. Slowly whisk in 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk and 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. The batter should be smooth and flow easily.
  5. Add 1 cup (96 grams) almond flour and a pinch of salt. Whisk gently until the batter is uniform without lumps.
  6. Gently fold in the pitted cherries to distribute evenly.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. The cherries will sink slightly, creating a layered effect.
  8. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is set but still jiggles slightly.
  9. Let the clafoutis cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and milk for better texture. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking. Let the clafoutis cool before serving to allow custard to firm up. Frozen cherries can be used if thawed and drained well. For dairy-free, substitute milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk and butter with coconut oil.
