Mary Berry’s version of cherry clafoutis is a classic take on the French dessert. It combines pitted cherries with a smooth, slightly sweet batter that bakes up firm around the edges and tender in the middle. The dish is typically made in a shallow dish and served directly from the oven with minimal fuss.
300g fresh cherries, pitted
3 large eggs
125g plain flour
100g caster sugar
300ml whole milk
50ml double cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp unsalted butter (for greasing)
Icing sugar, for dusting
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or 350°F.
Grease a round baking dish with butter.
Spread the pitted cherries evenly across the bottom of the greased dish.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until slightly frothy.
Add the flour and whisk until smooth.
Slowly pour in the milk, then the cream and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
Pour the batter gently over the cherries in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes or until golden and set in the center.
Let it cool slightly. Dust with icing sugar and serve warm or at room temperature.
