Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh cherries (pitted)
- 60 milliliters Amaretto liqueur
- 200 grams sour cream
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 30 grams toasted almond slivers (optional)
- 5 leaves mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Wash and pit the cherries, placing them in a medium-sized bowl.
Pour the Amaretto liqueur over the cherries and gently toss to combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the cherries to macerate at room temperature for 30 minutes. For a more intense flavor, refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
When ready to serve, divide the macerated cherries into four serving bowls or glasses.
Top each serving with a generous dollop of the sour cream and brown sugar mixture.
For optional garnish, sprinkle toasted almond slivers over each serving and add a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
