General

• This is a no-bake chocolate cake. Just take love and time.
• Preparation time: 30 minutes + overnight chilling

Ingredients

Biscuit base

• Butter 50g, diced
• Chocolate chip cookies 175 g, finely crushed

Filling

• 500g mascarpone
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 300ml double cream. You can also use "slagroom", but it is not quite thick enough: use 200 ml slagroom and 100g mascarpone, or use creme fraiche.

• 200g plain chocolate, melted and cooled

Procedure

Biscuit base

Prepare biscuit base according to separate recipe

Filling

• Beat the mascarpone with the vanilla until smooth. Very softly whip the double cream with the kirsch then mix with the mascarpone. Finally, fold in the melted chocolates and cherries.
• Spoon into the tin, swirl the mix a bit on top (see picture) so you leave indents for the cherry syrup to go on top, and chill overnight.
• 

Serve

Serve with some of the syrup from the jar and extra cherries if you like.
