Chocolate Mascarpone Cheese Ball with Dried Cherries
jee-ae
This rich dessert captivates with its balance of tart dried cherries and 2 chocolates. Callebault is my personal choice of chocolate, however other higher-end chocolates such as Lindt are also quite good. Following is a recipe for intensely chocolatey wafers upon which to spread this remarkable sweet; however, purchased thin chocolate wafers are a quick alternative.
