To make Charlotte with chocolate, Kirsch cream, and cherries, you will need the following ingredients:
– 8-inch sponge cake (you can buy it from the store or make it yourself)
– 1 cup of cherries (you can use canned cherries or fresh ones)
– 1 cup of heavy cream
– 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
– 1 tablespoon of Kirsch liqueur
– 6 oz of dark chocolate
– 1/4 cup of milk
– 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon of salt
To make the Kirsch cream, start by whipping the heavy cream with powdered sugar until it becomes thick and creamy. Add Kirsch liqueur and vanilla extract to it and mix well. Set it aside.
Next, take the dark chocolate and break it into pieces. Heat the milk in a small saucepan and add chocolate pieces to it. Keep stirring until the chocolate has melted and the mixture has become smooth. Once done, let it cool down.
Now, take the sponge cake and cut it into thin slices. Take a springform pan and line it with parchment paper. Place the cake slices on the bottom and around the edges of the pan. Make sure to cover the entire surface of the pan.
Once the cake is in place, pour the Kirsch cream over it. Make sure to spread it evenly. Now, pour the cooled down chocolate mixture over the Kirsch cream. Top the chocolate layer with cherries. You can use as many cherries as you like.
Repeat this process until you have layered all the ingredients. Make sure to finish off with the cake layer.
Cover the pan with cling film and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Once chilled, remove the cling film and gently lift the edges of the parchment paper to remove the Charlotte from the pan.
To serve, slice the Charlotte into wedges and garnish with additional cherries. You can also dust some cocoa powder over it for an added touch.
