Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup brandy or grappa
1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons sugar
6 wide strips lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds, coarsely ground
1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
3/4 pound fresh cherries, pitted
4 ounces mascarpone cheese (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup cold heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Lemon-Almond Biscotti, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together brandy and 1/4 cup sugar until sugar is mostly dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add lemon juice, fennel seeds, and pepper; whisk to combine. Add lemon zest and cherries and stir until combined. Refrigerate, covered, 24 hours (or up to 3 days), stirring occasionally.
  • In a small bowl, whisk mascarpone until loose and shiny, about 2 minutes. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat cream and 2 teaspoons sugar on high until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Whisk in vanilla. Fold mascarpone into whipped cream until well combined. Divide cherries and liquid among 4 plates. Serve with mascarpone cream and biscotti.

The mascarpone cream is the perfect topping for these cherries. It's light and fluffy, and it doesn't overpower the flavor of the cherries.

These drunken cherries were so easy to make and they taste amazing! I love the combination of sweet and tart.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cherries turned out great! However, I found the mascarpone cream to be a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I will use less sugar.
