Cherry and Chocolate Meringue Dessert

Dessert Recipe

How can anyone resist anything with cherries? 

This simple dessert can be made in a flash - Meringue nests and whipped cream topped with fresh cherries and drizzled with melted chocolate.

Cherry and Chocolate Meringue Dessert

Cherries are really nice to eat but the pesty stone inside does make them a bit messy.

However, the new Cherry/Olive Pitter from OXO Good-Grips makes it a doddle to remove cherry stones without mess, making them so much nicer to eat and ready form some sort of dessert or make a sauce.

Here are a couple of pictures I've taken showing the Cherry Pitter in action!

How to use a cherry pitter

Remove the stem from a cherry and pop it into the holder - stem side up. Press down to remove the stone.

The OXO Good-Grips Cherry Pitter also works on large cherries too. Once you've finished just remove the splatter shield by twisting to clean.

The cherry pitter is dishwasher safe, although it really isn't necessary, hot sudsy water will do the trick.

Did you know?

Compared to most other fruits, cherries are low in sugar, which makes them an ideal choice for people who want to lose weight

Just don't have the meringue, chocolate or cream in this recipe and you'll be fine!

Many thanks to Zara and OXO Good-Grips for sending me this product to review.

  2. Cherry and chocolate is such a lush flavour combo! I've missed our local crop of cherries as the birds got there first - gutted!
