Description

Chocolate covered bourbon cherries are a delightful treat made with fresh cherries, bourbon and dark chocolate. This decadent dessert is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a romantic evening or a special gathering with friends and family. The combination of sweet cherries, smoky bourbon and rich chocolate creates a unique and delicious flavor that is sure to please any palate. The recipe is simple and straightforward, and can be completed in about an hour.

The trick to making the best chocolate covered bourbon cherries is to use the freshest cherries you can find. The cherries should have a deep, dark red color and be firm to the touch. You also want to use a high-quality bourbon that has a smoky flavor and complexity. The final key ingredient is a good quality dark chocolate that has a high cocoa content. These simple ingredients come together to create an unforgettable treat.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh, dark red cherries
  • 1 cup high-quality bourbon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

Begin by washing and drying the cherries. Remove the stems and discard. Place the cherries in a medium bowl and pour the bourbon over the cherries. Add the vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. Gently stir to combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the cherries soak in the bourbon mixture for at least 30 minutes.

While the cherries are soaking, prepare the chocolate coating. In a small saucepan, heat the cream and sugar over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Add the chopped chocolate and stir constantly until the chocolate is melted. Remove the pan from the heat.

Drain the cherries, discarding the bourbon mixture. Place the cherries on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Dip the cherries in the melted chocolate and place them on the wax paper. Allow the chocolate to cool and harden before serving.

Equipment

  • Medium bowl
  • Small saucepan
  • Baking sheet
  • Wax paper

Notes

The cherries can be soaked in the bourbon mixture for up to 24 hours for a stronger flavor. You can also experiment with different types of chocolate and spices to create your own unique flavor. If you’re serving the chocolate covered bourbon cherries to children, you can substitute the bourbon with non-alcoholic apple cider.
