Ingredients:
- 1 pound fresh cherries, pitted
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Start by washing and pitting one pound of fresh cherries, and set them aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt one cup of semisweet chocolate chips and two tablespoons of unsalted butter for about a minute, stirring every 20 seconds until fully melted.
Take each cherry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate mixture. Place each chocolate-covered cherry onto a lined baking sheet and let them cool in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
For the Glaze:
In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup of heavy cream until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled chocolate-covered cherries.
These chocolate-covered cherries are a perfect treat for any occasion. The combination of fresh cherries and rich chocolate is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
