  • 1/4 cup superfine sugar
  • 1/4 cup kirsch or brandy
  • 1/2 cinnamon stick
  • 4 oz ripe cherries, pitted
  • 7 oz white chocolate
  • 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
  • semisweet chocolate, for grating

directions

  • 1

    Put the sugar, kirsch, 1/4 cup water and the cinnamon in a small pan over low heat until the sugar is dissolved, then bring to a boil. Add the cherries and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until they are tender but still holding their shape. Let cool in the syrup.

  • 2

    Chop the white chocolate into small pieces and tip into a large bowl, then slowly pour onto the white chocolate, stirring continuously. Keep stirring until all the chocolate has melted. Set aside to cool.

  • 3

    Whip the remaining cream until thick, then fold in the cooled chocolate mixture. Keep whisking to stiff peaks if the combined mixture is not thick enough.

  • 4

    Drain the cherries and set aside for 4 for decoration. Divide the rest among individual glasses and pipe or spoon the white chocolate mousse over them. Top each serving with a cherry and grate over some semisweet chocolate to serve
