Chocolate Cherry Pots

On Sunday I went to the local framers market and happily spied the first cherries of the season. I gifted them to myself - is that OK? I am sure you don't mind me treating myself to a gift from time to time. This is a recipe made up of things in my fridge, there is no cooking involved! All though I did make to mud cake the day before.

What you need....

4 wide opening jars or glasses 
20 fresh cherries per person, stones removed
4 slices Mud Cake
2/3 cup raspberry jam
1 cup Greek yogurt

Make it happen....


1. Cut each slice of chocolate cake into four, place one piece in the bottom of the jar with a couple of cherries.

2. Spoon on one teaspoon of jam and yogurt.

3. Repeat the layers until all the jars are almost full.

4. Top with a cherry to serve.

I made this super quick treat and presented it to my family. I have never seen such empty vessels! The jars were totally clean.
The rich chocolate mud cake was perfect with the firm, sweet cherries. I loved the tart, creamy yogurt cut by the super sweet raspberry jam, It is a winning combination.
