Pair Sour Cherry with Chocolate, Almond and Vanilla

Sour cherry is a natural partner for dark chocolate. The deeper cocoa flavour works with the sharp fruit to create chocolate bars, brownies, cookies, cakes and Black Forest-style desserts that are rich without becoming overly sweet.

Milk chocolate gives the cherry a softer, sweeter finish, while white chocolate provides a creamy contrast against its tangy flavour and dark red colour. Almond, marzipan, vanilla, pistachio, orange and coffee are also useful pairings for cakes, pastries, chocolate work and plated desserts.

Use It Whole, Crushed or Rehydrated

Use the cherries directly from the pack when you want a crisp, visible fruit piece in chocolate bars, bark, granola or dessert decorations. They also make an easy finishing touch for cakes, cheesecakes, porridge, yoghurt, ice cream and sundaes.

For smaller pieces, gently break or crush the cherries before use. Blitz them into a fine cherry powder to mix into buttercream, frosting, icing, glaze, meringue or chocolate fillings. This adds fruit flavour and colour without introducing the same amount of liquid as a fresh fruit purée.

The cherries can also be soaked in water when a softer texture is needed. Cold water helps the pieces retain more of their shape, while warmer water is useful for sauces, compotes, fillings and dessert layers.

Build Black Forest Cakes and Brownie Specials

Combine the sour cherries with dark chocolate sponge, chocolate brownie or cocoa cookie dough for an easy Black Forest-inspired flavour. Finish with vanilla frosting, whipped cream or chocolate sauce for cakes, traybakes, sundaes and dessert pots.

The fruit can also be folded into brownie, cookie or cake mixtures. It will absorb moisture and soften during baking, giving the finished product pieces of sharp cherry flavour rather than the crisp texture found straight from the pack. Test the quantity before moving into larger batches.

Add a Sharp Finish to Cheesecakes and Ice Cream

Sour cherry can help cut through rich and creamy desserts. Use it with vanilla cheesecake, chocolate mousse, panna cotta, ice cream or cream cheese frosting to balance sweetness and add a stronger fruit contrast.

Try whole pieces on sundaes and cheesecakes, or crush the fruit over waffles, pancakes, milkshakes and hot chocolate. Cherry powder can also be mixed through frosting or used as a colourful finishing dust on cakes and plated desserts.

Real Cherry Without the Pitting and Preparation

The cherries are supplied pitted and ready to portion, removing the time needed to wash, stone and prepare fresh fruit. Simply measure out the amount required and keep the remaining product for another batch.

This makes freeze dried cherry useful for menu specials, lower-volume toppings and occasional recipes where keeping fresh or frozen cherries on hand could lead to unnecessary waste.

---

Keep the Cherry Crisp and Dry

Freeze dried fruit quickly absorbs moisture from the air. Securely close the packaging after every use and store it somewhere cool and dry, away from steam, sinks and open containers.

When the fruit comes into contact with cream, frosting, sauce or other moist ingredients, it will gradually soften. Add it shortly before serving where retaining the light, crisp texture is important.
