"A classic French custard/pudding dish with the addition of almond meal in place of regular flour. A gluten free clafouti. Alternate fruits can be used in place of the cherries such as lightly stewed or steamed rhubarb, apple, pear or peach.

  1. So happy I bumped into this great recipe! I didn't have almond meal on the shelf so I put almonds into the food processor and ground them finely, but there was enough crunch to make the dessert interesting. I used frozen cherries so I had to add extra time for baking. This is a wonderful dessert that is not too sweet and really brings out the flavor of the cherries. I topped the dessert with a dollop of whip cream that I made with a touch of almond extract. This will be a family favorite.
     
  2. Very enjoyable and quick to do. I used a combo of tinned cherries and tinned apricot halves out of necessity with a great result and I know one DD has already put dibs on having the remainder for breakfast - that is if I leave her any !!!
