This French-country dessert comes in many flavors and textures. Ours is filled with fresh cherries and has a creamy, flan-like consistency. Though cherries are traditional, clafouti can be made with virtually any fresh or unsweetened frozen fruit. Try apples, pears, peaches or nectarines cut into little cubes, or whole berries like raspberries, blackberries or blueberries. For extra decadence, serve with a dollop of whipped topping, ice cream or yogurt. The clafouti will sink in the center as it cools. Since it’s made with eggs and milk, store any leftovers in the refrigerator. It’s delicious eaten cold but you can warm it slightly if you prefer.
