Clafoutis is a French baked dessert that originates from the Limousin region in the center of France. It is traditionally made with whole unpitted cherries and a creamy flan batter.

This dessert strongly reminds me of my childhood since it was a must-have every cherry season. As a kid, I wouldn’t have eaten a whole bowl of fresh cherries, but when made into clafoutis, they were much more enjoyable.

Nowadays, you will find different versions of clafoutis: you can really use any type of fruits- berries, apple, peach and more.

In Alsace, my home region, we love to make ‘clafoutis aux mirabelles’. Mirabelle is a small, round fruit about the same size as cherries, with a smooth-textured flesh and a dark yellow color. In France they mainly grow in the northeast, including Alsace.

Mirabelles are generally used in jam, dessert pies, and “eau-de-vie” (literally “water of life”), which is a clear fruit brandy.

As mentioned above, the cherries or mirabelles are traditionally unpitted, we just remove the pits while eating. However, if you prefer, you can pit them.
