  • Use choc sponge base, add halved morello cherries,cover with morello flavoured jelly (or blackcurrant jelly) When set cover it with one made up sachet of dark chocolate mousse, then add final layer of whipped cream. Decorate with either a few morello cherries or 70% dark chocolate shavings (definitely not cooking chocolate!)

  • This tastes better if: you use morello cherry flavoured jelly (or balackcurrent if you can.t get the latter) to cover pieces of choc sponge and sliced morello cherries (or morello jam spread over sponge) Cover with layer of dark chocolate mousse. Then add whipped cream and chocolate shavings (proper chocolate, mind, not cooking chocolate!)
