Ingredients
- 500 g fresh or defrosted from frozen cherries, pitted
- 4 tbsp gelatin powder
- 100 g 85% dark chocolate
Instructions
- In a food processor or blender blend cherries until smooth.
- Add to a small saucepan and bring to a gentle boil.
- Meanwhile, place the gelatin powder into 1/4 cup cold water. Whisk until gelatin powder is dissolved and forms a gummy like consistency.
- Once the cherry ‘juice’ has come to a gentle boil, turn off the heat and begin to whisk through the gelatin, whisking continuously until completely dissolved.
- Pour gelatin mixture into moulds. Place in freezer or fridge and allow to set. If setting in the freezer, move to fridge once set.
- Once jellies are set, melt chocolate using a double boiler method.
- Prepare a whole raw beetroot or potato (wrap in foil) to create a holder for the jellies once dipped into chocolate.
- Remove jellies from moulds. Use a toothpick for each jelly and dip into melted chocolate to coat well. Stick into beetroot and repeat until all jellies are coated.
- Transfer to fridge to set.

Tips:
For a clearer jelly, strain pureed cherries through a sieve squeezing out the juices first before heating.
