Black Forrest Dessert

For Christmas lunch I wanted something simple that didn't require cooking but was still a bit special. I came up with a Black Forrest creation using beautiful in season cherries. 

Black Forrest Dessert

Serves 4 

Ingredients

- 1 tub of cream cheese

- 1/2 tub of sour cream

- 2 tablespoons of caster sugar

- 2 cherry ripe bars

- 10 chocolate ripple biscuits

- 1 packet of jam rollettes

- 20 fresh cherries, extra to serve 

Directions

- in a bowl combine the cream cheese, sour cream & sugar. Mix until smooth. 

- cut the cherry ripes into small pieces. 

- cut the flesh from the cherries removing the pits. 

- break 4 of the chocolate ripple biscuits into small pieces. 

- add the cherry ripe pieces, cherry flesh & broken biscuits into the cream mix & combine. 

- cut the rollettes into small circles

To assemble

- line the bottom of a container or tray with half of the rollette pieces 

- top this with half the cream mixture

- place the remaining 6 chocolate ripple biscuits as the next layer

- top with the remaining cream mixture

- finally top with the rest of the rollettes

- put the lid on the container or cover tray with plastic wrap.

To serve
