Cherry Brown Sugar Fool With Honey Almonds

Author Notes

My dream is to aid this at my marriage ceremony, as a substitute of marriage ceremony cake, because of the (1) marriage ceremony cake is terrible and (2) I desire folks to query what that is, and I are searching for to affirm “Or no longer it is a ways a marriage ceremony fool.” – slulibby —slulibby

Test Kitchen Notes

Slulibby is positively no fool in phrases of crafting her non-public version of this usual British dessert: an ethereal cloud of cream shot by means of with cherry and almond. She permits the candy, juicy cherries to shine by doing minute or no to them; a contact of sugar, lemon juice and almond extract, followed by a temporary simmer, render them lightly syrupy and soft without turning them to mush. As soon as the fruit has cooled, she folds it – lawful barely! – into freshly whipped cream, lightly kissed with brown sugar and vanilla. The completion: crystalline shards of brittle made with sliced almonds and honey. – A&M —The Editors
