This baked dessert made with sweet cherries and a creamy, custardy base may be your new summer favorite!
Maxime grew up eating clafoutis since his parents used to make it every cherry season. The base is of a flan-like texture and makes clafoutis delicious and unique. We recommend removing the pits of the cherries before baking, but this is optional!
