Cherry & Almond Clafoutis

Cherry & Almond Clafoutis

Serves: 8
1 syn per serving

4 eggs
6-7 tbsp artificial sweetener
1 tsp almond essence
1 tsp vanilla essence
500 g very low fat fromage frais
400 g fresh cherries

Preheat the oven to 150°C/Gas 2. Beat together the eggs, sweetener, almond essence, vanilla essence and fromage frais until well mixed.

Halve and stone the cherries and scatter them over the base of a large flan dish. Pour over the egg mixture and bake for 50–60 minutes. When the dish is cooked, it should feel springy and have started to brown at the edges.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing and eating.

Tip: If you can’t get hold of fresh cherries you could use canned cherry pie filling. Drain off the liquid and follow the recipe as before. This would increase the Syn value to 2 Syns per serving.
