Notes
This Cherry Chocolate Delight tastes best when served fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream for better stability.
Customize the dessert by adding whole cherries on top or dusting with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
If you want to make it lighter, consider alternatives like Greek yogurt or sugar substitutes, and you can also make it gluten-free by using almond flour.
