EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Frozen cherries, partially thawed, can be used for the fresh cherries.

The name of this dish stems from the same flavors found in an exquisite chocolate-cherry torte, which was embellished with cherry liqueur (Kirsch) and whipped cream, that originated in Germany's Black Forest region.

I would not recommend taking the time out of your day to even consider this recipe. the cherries were good, but the chocolate stuff was pretty dry and tasteless. more like bitter tasting. when you mixed it around with the cherry juice and cherries it was a little better, but still pretty gross.
