FRESH CHERRY DESSERTS FROM THE ARCHIVE

There is nothing nicer than fresh cherries, whether eaten by hand straight from a tree or buried in gorgeous desserts.  And there are loads of lovely black cherries in the supermarkets right now, with large punnets offering best value.

Here are a few of 67goingon50 favourite cherry treats: one wildly indulgent, one a dieter's delight, one quick and easy and another, a cheats' treat.


Lower-Sugar Cherry & Coconut Macaroons
Indescribably yummy lower-sugar Cherry Coconut Macarons inspired by the London Royal Opera House: low fat, quick & easy. Short cooking time.
'Yum.  The cherries make these very moist.' Taster




No-bake Cherry Garcia Cream Pie
 super-indulgence, contains alcohol, not healthy

'Alas my concealed stash of Cherry Garcia pie was discovered by persons unknown so I never did get to taste it - but everyone said it was delicious!' Garden Party/Fete organiser  




 Cherry Almond Slices, Dieters' Delight
Cherry Bakewell without pastry or jam, lower fat/sugar 
'Absolutely gorgeous; the sweet of my dreams!' Weight-watching Taster



Cheats' Black Forest Trifle
  
Simple, light but ever-so-delicious, with if you like a little help from supermarket sponge, custard and a tin of cherries (though fresh is best)  'Fantastic.  Loved the bits of fruit; the sponge was chocolately without being dense and the cream wasn't heavy.'
