Servings: persons

1
Melt all of the chocolate in a bain-marie then remove from heat.
2
Add your ground almonds, cream, brandy and egg yolks (Tip: it is easiest to put little chox into the egg yolks first, mixing all the while - that way they won't split)
3
Butter and line a baking tray with parchment.
4
Roll out your first sheet of pastry to a thickness of around 2mm and lay on tray.
5
Cut to size so that your edges slightly overlap the tray, then egg wash the edges with the beaten egg.
6
Roll a second sheet of pastry to same thickness, fold lengthways and, with scissors, make diagonal cuts down the fold.
7
Open the sheet of pastry out and you should have a chevron pattern in middle.
8
Empty your carton of cherries in to the pastry lined baking tray, pour in the chocolate mix then gently place your chevron lid on top.
9
Gently squeeze around edges and cut off excess pastry.
10
Egg wash and dust with golden sugar.
11
Bake at 200C for 40-45 minutes until top is golden brown.
12
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
