recipe review - Chocolate Cherry Brioche - For Foods Sake - pg.47.
« on: September 15, 2012, 10:09:20 pm »




Mmmmm, hot out the oven - the chocolate is all gooey, and then you get a taste of the sweet/tart dried cherries.....buttery goodness as Tenina said  :)

I used the willow pudding tins that I picked up from Big W.  I did split the dough into 2 tins, but ideally next time, I will use just the 1 tin.
I found I didn't need to dry the crust out.....was lovely and crunchy.



I had pounded the pavement everywhere here, looking for dried cherries....no luck, so I bought online in 1 kg. bag.
I think the cherries are the perfect partner for the chocolate...and I really love the flavour of them...so will all get used  8)
I cut cherries in half for this recipe.

.........EAT CAKE!

....hmmm...if I wasn't such a chicken to drive to Melbourne on my own, I would have been there many times!  :P  Shame the train doesn't pull up at the front door  ;)

Where did you buy the cherries from maddy?

Not sure if I overpaid royally, but I was over searching at that point  :)

Really like them....not what I expected.

With the leftovers I will make the choc cherry brioche pudding for tonight's dessert.

Looks lovely Maddy.

I've seen dried cherries at Gagonis Bros - if anyone in Adelaide is looking for them.
I should have bought some when I was there a week or so ago.

It looks so good Maddy.   :D

I really must buy some cherries when I next see them and dry them as the ones I did last year were lovely.  :)
