    This easy recipe for gluten free sour cherry clafoutis is a simple dessert using fresh or frozen cherries. This tart like dessert is based on a French dessert that is light and delicious.

    My favorite way to eat gluten free sour cherry clafoutis is straight out of the baking dish while it's still warm. This is a wonderful dessert, but also really delicious as breakfast with a cup of coffee.

    I like this dessert best using sour cherries. You could use sweet cherries and cut back on the sugar slightly. I like the tart consistency with the fresh sour cherries mixed in.

    This dessert is great on it's own, but I like to sprinkle powdered sugar over top. I think it looks pretty and it adds a little sweetness to the top of the clafoutis. Don't let the name keep you from making this dessert, it is simple to make and a great summer treat.

    Where does clafoutis come from?

    Clafoutis comes from the Limousin region of France. It was originally made with sweet, dark cherries. There are many recipe variations now including sour cherries, plums, apples and blackberries.

    What does clafoutis taste like?

    Clafoutis has a custard like texture and taste. The taste is based on the fruit you are using. For this gluten free sour cherry clafoutis you have a custard taste along with the tartness of the sour cherries. It's a fantastic combination of sweet and tart.

    How do I store gluten free sour cherry clafoutis?

    This gluten free sour cherry clafoutis should be stored in the refrigerator. I like to make the dessert the same day I'm serving it and serve it warm. However, you can store the clafoutis in the refrigerator for a couple of days if needed.

    When the clafoutis is cold it will take on a more rubbery texture. If you are serving this dessert the next day I suggest putting the dessert back in the oven to heat it back up to warm before serving.

    The clafoutis will puff up quite a bit while it's baking and hot. Once it begins to cool it will deflate. This is what it is supposed to do.

    Description

    This easy recipe for gluten free sour cherry clafoutis is a simple dessert using fresh or frozen cherries. This tart like dessert is based on a French dessert that is light and delicious.


    Ingredients

    Scale

    1 Tbsp. Coconut Oil or Butter for pan
    1 ¼ pounds Sour Cherries, pitted
    ½ cup Gluten Free Flour
    1 tsp. Baking Powder
    1 cup Milk
    ½ cup Heavy Cream
    ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
    ¼ cup Brown Sugar
    2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
    3 large Eggs


    Instructions

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch baking dish with coconut oil or butter.

    Pour your cherries in an even layer on the bottom of the baking dish.

    In a large mixing bowl blend together the gluten free flour, baking powder, milk, heavy cream, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla and eggs.

    Pour the batter over the cherries in your baking dish.

    Bake at 350 degrees for 55 minutes or until set. The top will be slightly browned. The dessert will jiggle in the pan but a toothpick or knife should come out clean.

    The dessert will deflate as it cools. Serve warm with a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top.

    Notes

    You can also use the traditional sweet cherries, but you may want to decrease the sugar in the recipe slightly.
