Prep Time: 10 min
Stand: 15 min
Ingredients
250g fresh cherries (about 2 cups), halved and pitted
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla, divided
1/4 cup Longo’s No Pulp Orange Juice
1 cup Longo’s Mascarpone Cheese
1/2 cup 35% whipping cream
2 tbsp icing sugar
Directions
Sprinkle cherries with sugar and 1/2 tsp of the vanilla; stir well until sugar is dissolved and cherries start to get juicy. Add orange juice and stir to combine. Let stand for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in bowl, beat together mascarpone, whipping cream and icing sugar with remaining 1/2 tsp vanilla. Spoon into bowls and top with cherries and juice to serve.
Tips: For an added hint of orange flavour, stir 1 tbsp orange liqueur into cherry mixture, if desired.
When fresh cherries are not in season, use Longo’s Frozen Dark Cherries instead.
Enjoy these cherries over your favourite vanilla or chocolate ice cream. They’re also delicious served over angel food or sponge cake or eaten on their own!
Black Forest Dessert Variation: Spoon the mascarpone overtop Longo’s Chocolatier Brownies, then top with the Orange Vanilla "Drunken" Cherries. Or use two-bite brownies to dip into the mascarpone and top with cherries for a hand-held treat.
