Introduction

Traditionally, Cherry Clafouti is made using fruit that hasn’t been pitted. Clafouti aficionados claim (and I believe them) that as the cherries bake, the pits give off a sexy, sensual scent that is missing from the pitted version. The choice is yours. If baked with the Clafouti they easily come out with a little push of the fork. Just warn your guests!

Ingredients

    1/2 t. butter
    1/2 cup All purpose flour
    1/2 cup Xylitol, divided
    1 1/4 cups Almond milk
    3 large eggs
    1 T. Vanilla
    pinch of salt
    12 ounces Cherries

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F.
Grease 9 inch deep dish pie pan with 1/2 t. butter. Set aside.
Whisk together 1/2 cup almond flour, 1/3 cup Xylitol, a pinch of salt, and the Almond milk. Whisk till all lumps are removed. Add 3 eggs and vanilla and whisk till combined.
Add about half of the batter to the pie pan and bake about 12 minutes, till set. When set, add the cherries, and rest of the sweetener. Carefully ladle the remaining batter over the cherries (so you don't dislodge them) and return to the oven. Bake an additional 45-50 minutes, till puffed and browned. Finish under the broiler if not browned sufficiently. Watch closely. Serve warm by itself, or with vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt. Serves 8.

Any brand of sweetener can be used. I haven't tried this with whole wheat flour.
