[MC-AllEthnic-Recipes] Slow Cooker Creamy Cherry Clafoutis - French

Not TNT> My weekend experiment. I love a good clafoutis. I've made others in the slow cooker that were more steamed than baked, this time I'll put a tea towel under the cooker cover and see if that gives a more 'baked' result.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
To grease: -- unsalted butter
12 ounces frozen pitted cherries -- (1 bag) about 2 1/2 cups, thawed or substitute fresh or drained canned cherries
6 ounces cream cheese -- softened
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
To garnish: -- confectioners' sugar

Generously butter the bottom and 2-inches up the sides of the insert of a
large slow cooker. Scatter the cherries in the bottom of the cooker.

In a food processor or blender, combine the cream cheese, eggs, sugar,
flour, milk, and lemon zest. Process or blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour the mixture over the cherries.

Cover and cook on high for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the center is just
set. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve warm, scooping the
clafoutis out of the insert.

Serves 6

AuthorNote: Clafoutis is the French name for a batter cake made with
fruit. It is quick to make and perfect for a homey family dessert.

This version uses cream cheese, so the texture is extra creamy and a
little like a cheesecake. Try it with other soft fruits, such as apricots
or berries.
