Method

Preparing the Clafoutis

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

  3. 3

    Add cherries

    Fold in the pitted Okanagan cherries gently into the batter.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake for 35-40 minutes or until set and golden on top.

Making Marzipan Arlette

  1. 5

    Prepare the puff pastry

    Roll out the puff pastry sheet and spread a thin layer of marzipan over it.

  2. 6

    Shape the Arlette

    Fold and twist the pastry into a spiral shape, then cut into thin slices.

  3. 7

    Bake Arlettes

    Place the slices on a baking sheet and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden.

Making Kirsch Ice Cream

    Heat cream and milk

    In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, and granulated sugar. Heat until warm but not boiling.

  2. 9

    Whisk egg yolks

    In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add the warm cream mixture to the yolks while whisking continuously.

  3. 10

    Thicken the mixture

    Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.

    Add flavorings

    Remove from heat, stir in kirsch and vanilla extract. Chill the mixture, then churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
