Clafoutis – French Cherry Custard Dessert – Instant Pot

The Quick and Carry Kitchen lives in beautiful northern Michigan, cherry capital of the world. July is our month here…the cherries are being picked, our turquoise water is warm enough for swimming, and the evening twilight lasts until almost 10 pm. We do summer here, and we do it well!

This simply yet elegant dessert is based on the French clafoutis – kla-foo-tee. A rich custard over tart red cherries, dusted with sugar or in this case, glazed with home made cherry jam…yum. The Instant Pot makes this so easy, you will seem like a famous French pastry chef!
