Happy Birthday to Julia Child! Today I am joining a group of blogger friends to celebrate this very talented chef and author with each of us recreating one of her marvelous recipes! I chose her Cherry Clafouti recipe. There are several reasons. I love fresh cherries. Cherries are in season right now, and the Cherry Clafouti is so simple of a recipe, and the simplicity of the ingredients is what makes it amazing! I added chocolate to the top of the finished dish, because, well, chocolate and cherries! I just couldn't leave it alone! Sorry, Julia! (it tastes great!)

Cherry Clafouti (kla-foo-tee)
(serves 6-8)
(printable recipe at end of page)
1 1/4 cup Whole Milk
2/3 cup Granulated Sugar
3 large Eggs
1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1/2 cup Flour
3 cups Cherries, pitted
Semi Sweet Chocolate for drizzling
Powdered Sugar for dusting

Rinse cherries. Pull off stems and pit the cherries. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 7-8 cup baking dish.

In a blender, blend the milk, sugar, egg, vanilla, salt and flour until smooth.

Pour batter into the baking dish. Add the cherries. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour. While the clafouti is cooking, melt the chocolate in a double boiler over low temperature.

The clafouti is done when puffed and brown and when a knife stuck through the center come out clean. 

 Drizzle chocolate on the plate and over the cherry clafouti. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm and enjoy. This also is perfect as a breakfast treat the next day!
