How I make it

Cherry jelly

  1. Mix the agar-agar or gelatin with the sugar.

  2. Bring the cherry juice to a boil, add the sugar mixture and stir well.

  3. Remove from the heat and add the cherries.

  4. Pour into the bottom of the cups and chill until set, at least 30 minutes.

Chocolate cream

  1. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl.

  2. Bring the cream and milk to a boil in a pot, then pour the hot liquid slowly over the yolk mixture, whisking constantly.

  3. Return the mixture to the pot and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until it thickens, 2-3 minutes.

  4. Pour the hot custard over the chocolate and stir with the wooden spoon until smooth and glossy.

  5. Pour over the cherry jelly and chill for at least 2 hours, until set.

Serving

  1. Whip the cream with the powdered sugar.

  2. Just before serving, pipe the whipped cream over the chocolate cream, decorate and serve.
