Making Dark Cherry & Cottage Cheese Clafoutis is a straightforward process that involves just a few steps. Here’s how to do it:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similar baking dish.
2. Prepare Cherries: Wash and pit the dark cherries, then slice them in half and spread them evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.
3. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and well mixed.
4. Pour Batter: Pour the blended mixture over the cherries in the baking dish, ensuring they are fully submerged.
5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the clafoutis is puffed and golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
6. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
7. Dust with Sugar: If desired, dust with powdered sugar just before serving.

These steps ensure that you create a delicious Dark Cherry & Cottage Cheese Clafoutis with ease!
