When love is in the air and cherries are in the shops, juicy and plump make this the ultimate ending for any romantic dinner. Just watch out for the stones. I don’t want you swallowing them and ruining your night of passion!

Ingredients

800g fresh black cherries with the stalks on
200g dark chocolate
200g white chocolate
100g orange chocolate
Edible diamonds optional

To Serve

1 x chocolate shoe!
Few edible diamond sugar crystals

1) Wash the cherries and pat dry with a cloth (any moisture will affect the chocolate).
2) Melt the chocolates separately in a bowl over a pan of simmering water.
3) Take each cherry and dip into the chocolates – placing them on a tray lined with food wrap – leave to set.
4) If you want a two tone effect – once set dip half way into a contrasting colour chocolate and again leave to set, or splash with the coloured chocolate and swirl with a cocktail stick.
5) Once set – trim the top of each cherry – place in petit four cases and serve. Alternatively create the ultimate wow factor and serve cascading from a chocolate shoe with edible diamonds!
