Steps:
- For the cherry compote: Tip the cherries into a medium saucepan along with any juices, and bring to a gentle bubbling simmer over medium-high heat, about 2 minutes. Press down using a masher or fork. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and the orange zest. Simmer for about 3 minutes, then turn off the heat and leave to cool, about 10 minutes.
- For the jelly: Put the jelly granules into a liquid measuring cup and top up with boiling water according to the packet's instructions. Stir until the granules dissolve.
- Assembling the trifle: Pour half of the jelly into the bottom of a 2-quart (2-liter) trifle bowl. Scatter in half of the drained and thawed cherries. Leave to one side to set according to the directions of the packet of jelly granules. Set aside the remaining jelly.
- Whip the heavy cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until soft peaks form, and set to one side.
- Once the jelly has firmed up, break the pound cake up into rough pieces and scatter half on top of the jelly. Grate over some orange zest and scatter over half of the chocolate pieces.
- Spoon over half of the custard, starting at the edges and working your way into the center to ensure defined layers around the edge of the bowl.
- Next pour over the cherry compote, again starting at the edges.
- Stir the reserved jelly to break it up and spoon it on top of the compote layer.
- Now add the rest of the cake and another grating of orange zest. Scatter over the remaining drained and thawed cherries, sprinkle over some of the remaining chocolate and then pour on the rest of the custard again, starting at the edges. Pile the whipped cream on top. Zest over the remaining orange, scatter the remaining chocolate and finish with the toasted almonds.
- Add the cashew milk, sugar, vanilla extract and turmeric to a large saucepan and slowly heat over medium-low heat. Once hot, pour in the cornstarch slurry and stir continuously until thickened. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Chill in the fridge overnight.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm cherries: Avoid cherries that are bruised or have soft spots. Ripe cherries will have a deep red color and a slightly sweet aroma.
- Pit the cherries before cooking: Use a cherry pitter to remove the pits from the cherries. This will make it easier to eat the cherries and will prevent the pits from cracking and breaking your teeth.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: A heavy-bottomed saucepan will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the cherries from burning.
- Cook the cherries over medium heat: Medium heat will help to prevent the cherries from burning and will allow the flavors to develop.
- Stir the cherries occasionally: Stirring the cherries occasionally will help to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.
- Add the truffles towards the end of cooking: Adding the truffles too early will cause them to lose their flavor. Stir them in just before serving.
Conclusion:
Truffled cherries are a delicious and elegant appetizer or dessert. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of sweet cherries and savory truffles is a perfect balance of flavors. These cherries are sure to impress your guests and make a memorable impression.
