A delicious mix of cherries and chocolate that complement each other well, and healthier than you'd think.
Ingredients
- 225g fresh cherries
- 2 tbsp artificial sweetener
- 1⁄2 tsp cornflour, blended with cold water
- 100g quark
- 2 tbsp skimmed milk
- 1⁄2 tsp vanilla extract
- 25g dark chocolate, broken into pieces
- 1 tsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp golden syrup
Directions
1
Reserve 4 cherries for decoration, then halve and pit the rest. Put them into a small saucepan with 50ml water and 1 tbsp sweetener. Simmer for 3 minutes, until softened. Stir in the blended cornflour and cook, stirring, until thickened. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
2
Meanwhile, beat the Quark or low fat soft cheese, milk, vanilla extract and remaining sweetener together until smooth.
3
Make the chocolate sauce by putting the chocolate, cocoa powder, blended cornflour and syrup into a small saucepan. Heat, stirring constantly until smooth and blended. Allow to cool for a few minutes, stirring to prevent a skin from forming.
4
Spoon the cherries, chocolate sauce and Quark mixture into small serving glasses. Finish off each one with a cherry, then chill until ready to serve.
