Notes
It’s cherry season!!! All you need to prepare these cherries is only four ingredients and a touch of dexterity. Deprived of their core, filled with chantilly cream , glazed with dark chocolate cherries are even more irresistible… one will lead to another.
To take off the cherries stones without depriving them of the stalk, you’ll need a very sharp cutter and a bit of patience. It ‘ so better choose large and mature cherries, in order to facilitate the operation.
