  • 1 tablespoon (15 grams) kirschwasser cherry liqueur
  • ¼ cup (60 grams) heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup (60 grams) Cherry Purée (see note)
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine chocolate and cherry liqueur.
  2. In a small saucepan, bring cream and Cherry Purée to a boil over medium heat. Pour hot cream mixture over chocolate mixture, and whisk until smooth and shiny. Use immediately.
