Inspired by the famous black forest dessert, this coulis combines the richness of dark chocolate with the sweetness and acidity of the cherries, creating a perfect sauce to coat ice cream, pancakes or cakes. It is ideal for vanilla, chocolate or even yogurt ice cream.

Ingredients :
- 150 g dark chocolate (70 % cocoa)
- 100 ml of whole liquid cream
- 100 g of pitted cherries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of Kirsch (optional, for a more authentic taste)
- 1 tablespoon of milk (optional, to adjust the texture)
Preparation :
- Prepare the cherry compote
in a small saucepan, put the horny cherries and sugar. Heat over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until the cherries start to break down and the juice thickens slightly. Crush the cherries with the back of a spoon to obtain a compote texture. If you use the Kirsch, add it at that time. - Heat the cream
in another saucepan, heat the cream over low heat without bringing it to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat as soon as the cream is hot. - Add the chocolate
adds the dark chocolate cut into pieces in the hot cream and let melt without stir immediately. After a few minutes, mixed gently until you get a smooth chocolate sauce. - Incorporate the cherries
adds the cherry compote to the melted chocolate mixture and stir well to integrate fruity flavors into the coulis. If you prefer a more fluid coulis, you can add a tablespoon of milk to adjust the texture. - Let cool
let the coulis cool lightly before pouring it on your ice creams or desserts. It can be kept in the refrigerator for about a week in an airtight container.
