Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Fresh cherries with stems
- 150 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 50 grams White chocolate
- 30 grams Finely chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 pinch Edible gold flakes (optional)
- 1 pinch Sea salt flakes (optional)
Instructions
Wash the cherries thoroughly and dry them completely with a clean kitchen towel. Ensure that the stems remain attached for easy dipping.
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth.
Dip each cherry halfway into the melted dark chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off, then place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
If desired, immediately sprinkle the dipped cherries with finely chopped nuts, edible gold flakes, or a tiny pinch of sea salt while the chocolate is still wet.
Melt the white chocolate using the same method as the dark chocolate. Transfer the melted white chocolate to a small piping bag or use a fork to drizzle decorative lines over the dark chocolate-dipped cherries.
Let the cherries sit at room temperature until the chocolate is fully set, about 15-20 minutes. To speed up the process, you can place them in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
Once the chocolate has hardened, gently lift the cherries from the parchment paper and arrange them on a plate or serve immediately.
Enjoy your Simple Yet Elegant Dipped Cherries as a beautiful and delicious treat!
