How to Make Cherry Dominos
- **Make the Crust:** In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter over low heat. Whisk in 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until the mixture thickens (about 5 minutes), whisking constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup shredded coconut, and 1/4 cup slivered almonds.
- Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan. Press the crust mixture evenly into the pan.
- Freeze the crust for at least 30 minutes.
- **Prepare the Cherry Filling:** In a mixing bowl, beat together 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 cup softened butter, 1/4 cup cherry juice, and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract until creamy.
- Gently fold in 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries (pitted).
- Spread the cherry mixture evenly over the frozen crust.
- Freeze for at least 30 minutes while you prepare the chocolate glaze.
- **Make the Chocolate Glaze:** Melt 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate and 2 tablespoons butter in a double boiler or microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Pour the chocolate glaze over the cherry layer and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the glaze to set completely before cutting into squares.
