Clafoutis is a classic French dessert that is pleasing to both the eyes and taste buds. Sweet, fresh cherries are baked in a simple batter of milk, sugar, eggs and flour. The result is a fruity, creamy dessert with a taste similar to custard. You can easily customize this recipe with other fruits like blueberry, raspberry, or apple.
