Ingredient

  • Iced doughnuts, to serve
  • 50g CADBURY Baking Dark Chocolate, White Chocolate or Milk Chocolate Melts
  • 250g fresh cherries, washed, dried
  • 250g cream cheese, chopped, at room temperature
  • 125g (1/2 cup) sour cream
  • 1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) Baileys Irish Cream liqueur
  • 200g dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) pouring cream
  • 100g store-bought chocolate brownies, broken into small chunks
  • 1 tbsp chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Melted white chocolate, to drizzle
Direction
  1. For the chocolate-dipped cherries, line a tray with baking paper. Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted. Allow to cool slightly.
  2. Holding a cherry by the stem, dip it into the melted chocolate, then place it on the prepared tray. Repeat with the remaining cherries. Transfer to fridge for 5 minutes for the chocolate to set.
  3. For the Baileys dip, use electric beaters to beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sour cream, brown sugar and liqueur and beat until smooth. Spoon into a serving bowl.
  4. For the Chocolate brownie dip, place chocolate and cream in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (make sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water). Stir until smooth.
  5. Arrange the brownie pieces in the base of a serving bowl. Sprinkle with half the pecans or walnuts. Spoon chocolate sauce over the top. Drizzle with melted white chocolate and top with remaining nuts.
