Baked Cherry Custard
A French-style baked custard built around whole cherries, set in individual dishes with a vanilla custard base reinforced by Greek yogurt, egg whites and whey protein isolate to push protein well past the usual clafoutis without losing its soft, trembling set.

Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) and lightly butter-spray or oil-wipe 2 individual baking dishes (180ml each).
2
Divide the halved, pitted cherries evenly between the two dishes in a single layer.
3
In a bowl, whisk the whole egg and egg whites together until just combined, no large bubbles.
4
Whisk in the Greek yogurt and skim milk until smooth, then sift in the whey protein isolate and cornstarch, whisking until no lumps remain.
5
Stir in the sugar and vanilla extract until fully dissolved into the custard base.
6
Pour the custard mixture over the cherries in each dish, filling to about 1cm from the rim.
7
Place the dishes in a deep roasting tray and pour hot water halfway up the sides of the dishes to create a water bath.
8
Bake for 32-35 minutes until the custard is just set with a slight wobble in the centre and lightly golden on top.
9
Carefully remove from the water bath and scatter the flaked almonds over the warm custards.
10
Cool for 10 minutes at room temperature, then chill for at least 20 minutes before serving.
