Perfect for an array of occasions, from casual get-togethers to elegant dinners, these cherries offer a delightful blend of flavors and textures that will have your taste buds dancing.
Each cherry is meticulously prepared with a tender, creamy filling that combines the richness of softened cream cheese with the delightful crunch of ground hazelnuts. The sweetness of maple syrup ties the filling together, creating a perfect partner for the natural sweetness of the cherries. The best part? The cherries are pitted through the side, leaving the stems intact, making for an elegant presentation that's sure to impress.
The outer layer of these cherubs is where the magic truly happens. A decadent journey through three types of chocolate – white, milk, and semi-sweet – each cherry is first dipped in white chocolate, then in either milk or semi-sweet, offering a trifecta of chocolatey goodness. The use of shortening ensures a smooth, glossy finish, while the drizzling of contrasting chocolate over each cherry adds a professional touch and an extra layer of flavor.
