I’m about to try it. I’ve tried making a chocolate cherry clafouti in the past and it wasn’t out of this world, but then I didn’t put in any choc chips, just cocoa. This time I’ll put in the cocoa.
I use Julia’s recipe also. I do soak the cherries in the kirsch (they are soaking as I type).
I have a stupendous peach clafouti; I did a few things to Julia’s recipe and it gets rave reviews.
Hmmm, maybe I should submit it to whatever you are speaking of, hee hee. Nah, that is OK, I won’t give your clafouti recipe a competition.
I am looking forward to seeing how it is. The picture is whetting my tastebuds.

I had never tried clafouti, but I used your recipe, bing cherries and the chocolate chips. It was absolutely delicious! Thanks for the great recipe, Mike!

That looks fabulous! I like the food processor method.
Chocolate and cherries, just perfect! Nice way to celebrate Julia, too!

This is one great looking clafoutis. I’ve made many of them and never once thought of using chocolate. Silly me! And about leaving the pits in – I’ve heard that it’s done that way in France so the cherry juice won’t leak into the batter, putting a stain on the presentation, especially if one uses the darker bing cherries.

Funny, while reading your second paragraph, I was just thinking to myself…I’d rather leave the pits in, saves a step! Then you said it for me. Great minds think alike! One extra point for the pit side!
You can’t get any better than this extra chocolately cherry clafouti!

BTW- two more varieties of dragon fruit on the way! Purple and pink !

You are a bad boy, Mike! Very, very bad….
Putting chocolate in the cherry clafouti? Now all I have to do is figure out how to make it without the heavenly smell getting out of the oven… So mon mari won’t know I’ve made it and I can sneak it all myself.
Outside, of course, so I can spit pits at will!

I agree with Grace and am a sucker for chocolate…and cherries pits or not:D

Mike- My hostmother used to make cherry clafoutis weekly. I remember being aghast that I had to spit cherry pits IN FRONT OF PEOPLE. Ah well, I got used to it quickly because they were delicious!

Your chocolate cherry clafoutis looks merveilleuse!
