My grandma Helma came up with this recipe, and we’re all thrilled—especially with how easy it is to make. To prepare, simply gather the sour cherries (or sweet cherries, if you prefer), the cinnamon, the cornstarch, and the rum. Mix the 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with the rum, then heat the sour cherries, their juice, and a teaspoon of cinnamon in a saucepan. As soon as the sour cherries begin to simmer, add the cornstarch and rum mixture, stirring constantly, and bring to a boil. Then let it cool (ideally overnight in the refrigerator). For the final preparation, whip the cream and pour it over the sour cherries. Sprinkle the chopped dark chocolate over the cream and enjoy.
