CHOCOLATE CHERRY BOMBE

Categories     dessert

Time 13h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds fresh cherries, pitted
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons brandy or cherry syrup (recommended: kirsch or Torani syrup)
3/4 cup water, plus 2 tablespoons
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped pistachios
10 ounces semisweet chocolate, cut in chunks

Steps:

  • Line a 1 1/2 quart glass or stainless bowl with plastic wrap, leaving enough excess hanging over the edge, and stick it in the freezer.
  • In a medium pot, combine the cherries, 1 cup of sugar, lemon juice, kirsch, and 3/4 cup of water. Simmer over medium-high heat until the juice from the cherries is released and the fruit is soft, about 20 minutes. Mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry and add it to the cherry mixture. Simmer, stirring, for another 2 minutes to thicken. Remove the cherry sauce from the heat, you should have about 4 cups. Put the cherry sauce in the freezer or in an ice bath to chill until cold.
  • Using a wire whisk, beat 2 cups of the heavy cream, the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, and vanilla together until soft peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, fold the whipped cream into half of the cherry mixture (2 cups) to make a light mousse - don't overdo it, it's ok if there are streaks of cream in the filling. Gently fold in the pistachios. Take the plastic-lined bowl out of the freezer and spoon the cherry mousse into it, filling it all the way to the top, and spreading evenly around the rim. Freeze again for at least 8 hours, so the mousse sets up firm.
  • Heat the remaining 1 cup of cream and the chocolate in a pot over medium-low flame. Stir to melt the chocolate completely and smooth it out into the cream. Cool until warm to the touch, the chocolate should still be pourable.
  • Take the bowl of cherry mousse out of the freezer and invert it, bottom-side up, on a wire rack set over a sheet pan. Carefully peel off the plastic and pour the chocolate ganache over the bombe to cover it completely, allowing the excess to drip down into the sheet pan. Stick the chocolate cherry bombe back in the freezer to chill. Using a couple of flat spatulas, carefully remove the bombe from the rack and put in on a chilled platter. Cut into wedges; serve with the reserved cherry sauce.

I got this recipe off of a pepperhead forum, and man, is it killer! I use the Cherry Bomb strain cherry peppers(extra hot), from my garden, but you can use whatever peppers you have on hand. Jalapenos, Habaneros, Anaheim, Poblano, etc. A great way to use up all the extra peppers from the garden! Easy to make, great for the Superbowl, any football Sunday, or any other party occasion.

Provided by Rita1652

Categories     Beverages

Time 2m

Yield 15-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 cup red maraschino cherry, Drained
1/2 cup dark rum (Bacardi 151, Vodka, )

Steps:

  • Cover Cherries in a jar with Rum.
  • Serve in Pina colada`s or straight up.
  • You can pour the rum on a cooked chocolate devils food cake before icing.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cherries: Fresh cherries add a burst of sweetness and tartness to the dish. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen cherries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Cook the chops over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the chops and prevent them from drying out.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the chops won't cook evenly. Cook the chops in batches if necessary.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the chops are cooked to your desired doneness is to use a meat thermometer. Cook the chops until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the chops rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chops and make them more tender.

Conclusion:

Cherry bomb chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chops are seared until golden brown and then simmered in a sweet and tangy cherry sauce. Serve the chops with rice or mashed potatoes and a side of vegetables.
