Clafoutis

Cultural Context

Clafoutis hails from the Limousin region of France, where it was traditionally made with black cherries. This rustic dessert showcases the beauty of simple ingredients, combining fruit with a custard-like batter. Over time, variations have emerged using different fruits, but the classic cherry version remains a beloved favorite, especially in summer when cherries are in season.
