cherries

Yum! these will disappear before you know it.

250g dark cooking chocolate

2 cups coconut

1/2 cup sugar

2 eggs

few drops of almond or rum essence

100g chopped glace cherries

Melt chocolate in a bowl of hot water or in the microwave. Line a lamington tray with foil and spread chocolate evenly over the foil. Chill till set. Meanwhile in a food processor, mix together the remaining ingredients until well combined. Spread over the set chocolate, then bake in a preheated 190C oven until just browning, about 20 minutes. Cool in the tray on a rack. Turn out, peel off foil and cut into squares or bars with a sharp knife.

Thanks Sally, good point re the flour or cornflour - guess the mix could be a bit too wet otherwise. Will give this a try sometime and post back here with the results.

Hi Mike, I have never tried this without glace cherries, but it could work with fresh ones. I like the idea. I'd be inclined to a tablespoon of flour or cornflour before processing the mix, just to soak up the extra juice that fresh ones would have. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

0 #1 Use real cherries instead? — Mike 2015-05-23 20:31

Hi, this recipe looks sensational but I really don't like glacÃ© cherries (too sweet and sickly for me) so if I were to use real cherries (pitted and chopped) do you think that would work? Would you have any thoughts on whether anything would need to be changed if I did use real cherries? Guess I just need to try it but would be interested to hear your thoughts.
