This French countryside dessert lets summer berries shine. Cherry clafouti is an enduring classic, though most any berries or fruit will shine when suspended in a rich, custard-like base. Tossing the berries with a bit of cornstarch helps their juices thicken while the dessert bakes. The batter comes together with the press of a button. Instead of milk, we use yogurt in the batter which adds body and a bit of tang. Even in small doses, the salt and lemon zest really accentuate the flavors here.
