Chocolate Cherry Clafoutis
A luscious, chocolaty, cherry dessert.
Ingredients
- 450 g ripe, firm, black cherries, washed, stalks removed
- 250 g dark chocolate, chopped
- 50 g all-purpose flour
- 4 eggs
- 200 ml milk
- 60 ml light cream (25% fat)
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- A little butter to grease the baking dish.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C and lightly butter a 1.5ltr glass or ceramic baking dish.
- Melt the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl placed over (not in) a pan of barely simmering water. The surface of the water must not touch the bowl of chocolate. Allow the melted chocolate to come to lukewarm temperature.
- In another bowl, whisk the flour, salt and ground cinnamon together.
- Whisk the milk, cream and eggs together and add to the flour to make a smooth batter.
- Mix in the meted chocolate and pour the batter into the buttered dish. Scatter the cherries all over, evenly over the custard. They will partially sink.
- Bake the clafoutis in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, cool completely and chill in the fridge before serving.
