Cherry Clafoutis (Clafoutis aux Cerises)

It is a creamy, custard based French dessert filled with fresh cherries or any fresh berries. The recipe is very easy all you need to do is mix the ingredients into a bowl and bake with fruit. Traditional clafoutis is dusted with powdered sugar on it. I prefer to pit the cherries but in traditional way, you do not have to do that.
