Ingredients
- 24 pieces Fresh cherries (with stems)
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (at least 60% cacao)
- 50 grams Unsalted pistachios (shelled)
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- 1 sheet Parchment paper
Directions
Step 1
Wash the cherries thoroughly and pat them completely dry with a kitchen towel. The cherries must be dry to ensure the chocolate adheres properly.
Step 2
Roughly chop the pistachios and set them aside in a small bowl.
Step 3
In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate. If desired, stir in the coconut oil to make the chocolate smoother and shinier.
Step 4
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare a surface for the dipped cherries.
Step 5
Hold a cherry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, covering about 3/4 of the cherry. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
Step 6
Immediately sprinkle the dipped cherry with chopped pistachios before the chocolate sets. Alternatively, you can dip the chocolate-covered cherry into the bowl of pistachios for more coverage.
Step 7
Place the decorated cherry onto the prepared parchment paper. Repeat the process with the remaining cherries.
Step 8
Once all the cherries are dipped and decorated, transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely set.
Step 9
Serve the chocolate-dipped cherries as a dessert, snack, or gift. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
