Cherry and Chocolate Clafoutis Recipe

It's cherry season!
Look at all the delicious cherries popping out everywhere in shops and markets, so beautiful!
And when I see cherries, I inevitably think of my favourite cherry dessert: le clafoutis aux cerises. My grandmother used to make the best cherry clafoutis I have ever eaten (I have mentioned before what a great cook she was). It was funny how every time she would be baking it during the Summer, you could see my cousins suddenly arriving for a visit, like if they could smell it from the other side of town. It was definitely a favourite thing for all of us!
This delicious dessert originates from the Limousin region in France. It is traditionally made with dark cherries but you can use other fruits too (apples, plums, peaches, blackberries, etc.). If you are a cherry clafoutis purist, you will cook the cherries with their pits in. It releases a wonderful flavour, and for me it makes this dessert incredible.
And to those delicious dark cherries that make a wonderful clafoutis, I added pieces of very dark chocolate. I just could not resist. Not only I love chocolate (chocolate addict is more or less a definition of me...) but the combination with the dark and juicy cherries is also just beautiful.
I find this dessert just perfect on a Summer day served chilled after a lovely meal of barbecued meats and grilled vegetables. You just want to sit in a garden with a good book and a plate of little squares of cherry and dark chocolate clafoutis (and probably a cheeky glass of refreshing dessert wine). And this is just a great Summer feeling!

les joyeux merles sont entrain de faire la razzia dans les cerisiers.rien ne les arrête ,épouvantails plats en alu ,cd accrochés aux branches .j'ai même retrouvé un noyau avec quelques restes de cerise dans un pot de fleur accroché au balcon. J'ai vu les cerises à peine avoir le temps de rougir dans le jardin du voisin et pfft plus rien le lendemain.Alors il reste encore un peu d'espoir dans certains cerisiers à St. Fulgent il va falloir faire plus vite que les oiseaux si je veux tester ta recette qui m'a l'air savoureuse.
