Ingredients
- 400g cherries, pitted
- 3 tbsp brandy
- 50g hazelnuts
- 100g dark chocolate, chopped
- 2 tbsp double cream
- 1 tbsp golden syrup
- 1 x 260g pack double chocolate brownie bites
- 1 x 500g tub vanilla ice cream
- 50g white chocolate chips
Step by step
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4. Halve the pitted cherries, place in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of the brandy and leave to macerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Toast the hazelnuts in the oven for 8-10 minutes until golden brown. Leave to cool, then roughly chop
- For the chocolate sauce, place the dark chocolate, double cream, golden syrup, remaining tablespoon of brandy and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Stir over a low heat just until melted and smooth, then allow to cool to room temperature. Roughly break up the brownie bites into chunky pieces.
-
To assemble, take 4 glass tumblers or jam jars and layer up the brownie bites, scoops of ice cream, macerated cherries, chocolate sauce, hazelnuts and white chocolate chips. Finish with a final scattering of hazelnuts and white chocolate chips.TipTo pit cherries without a pitter, put them in a plastic food bag; use a rolling pin to lightly crush them open, then pop out the stones.
