Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Fresh or Frozen Cherries (pitted)
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Pinch of Salt

Preparing the Cherries

If using frozen cherries, ensure they are slightly thawed. This will prevent the clafoutis from becoming too watery. Distribute the cherries evenly in a microwave-safe mug or ramekin.

Mixing the Batter

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps of flour remaining.

Combining Ingredients

Pour the batter over the cherries in the mug or ramekin. Ensure the cherries are mostly covered by the batter.

Microwaving the Clafoutis

Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the clafoutis is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Cooking times may vary based on microwave power. Start with 1 minute, then add 15-second intervals until cooked.

Cooling and Serving

Let the clafoutis cool for a minute or two before serving. Be careful, as the mug will be hot. You can dust with powdered sugar or add a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.

FAQ

  • Can I use other fruits besides cherries?

    Yes! Blueberries, raspberries, or sliced peaches work wonderfully in this recipe. Adjust the amount of fruit to 1/2 cup.
  • My clafoutis turned out rubbery. What did I do wrong?

    Overcooking in the microwave can cause the clafoutis to become rubbery. Reduce the cooking time and check for doneness frequently.
  • Can I prepare the batter ahead of time?

    It's best to make the batter just before cooking, as it may separate if left standing for too long.
