Tips:

  • For the perfect shortcrust pastry, make sure to use cold butter and work it quickly into the flour mixture. This will prevent the butter from melting and creating a tough pastry.
  • When making the filling, use fresh cherries for the best flavor. If using frozen cherries, be sure to thaw them and drain them well before using.
  • To create a glossy glaze, brush the top of the slice with apricot jam before baking. This will give it a beautiful shine and help to seal in the moisture.
  • Allow the slice to cool completely before cutting into it. This will help to prevent it from falling apart.

Conclusion:

The chocolate cherry slice is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed on any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor, sweet cherries, and buttery shortcrust pastry, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. Whether you're serving it at a party, a potluck, or just as a special treat for your family, this slice is sure to impress.
