10. Cherry Clafoutis

Never tried cherry clafoutis before? Well, it’s time we pop that cherry. A clafoutis (kla-foo-tee) is a French dessert made with a custard-like batter and tons of fruit – usually cherries. A dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of cream is added to finish it off. It’s wonderfully sweet and loaded with fruit chunks! Since it’s made with tons of eggs and tastes a bit like pancakes, cherry clafoutis is perfect for breakfast! But of course, you can enjoy it any time of the day.
