Ingredients

• ▢ 20 pitted cherries
• ▢ 4 tablespoons muscovado sugar or dark brown sugar
• ▢ 3 ounces gluten-free vodka
• ▢ 3 ounces dark chocolate
• ▢ 2 ounces milk chocolate
• ▢ 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• ▢ 1 tablespoon canned coconut milk
• ▢ ½ tablespoon cocoa powder
• ▢ ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

• ▢
  Place the pitted cherries in a big jar. Add the sugar and stir gently. Add the vodka and close the lid tightly. Put the jar in a dark, cool place for 3 days, shaking it gently at least once a day.
• ▢
  After 3 days, remove the cherries from the jar and place in a colander.

  Chop the chocolate into pieces. Place in a metal bowl and add the coconut oil and coconut milk. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir until smooth and melted. Remove from the heat.
