How to Make Chocolate Dipped Cherries With Pistachios
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Roughly chop 1/2 cup of pistachios and place them in a shallow bowl. Set aside.
- Melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt chocolate in a double boiler or in a medium bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, heat 1/4 cup heavy cream over medium-high heat until it just begins to simmer.
- Pour the hot cream over the melted chocolate and let it sit for about 30 seconds.
- Gently stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Holding each cherry by the stem, dip the bottom half of the cherry into the melted chocolate, gently tapping off any excess.
- Immediately dip the chocolate-covered bottom of the cherry into the chopped pistachios, ensuring it's well coated.
- Transfer the cherry to the prepared baking sheet.
- Repeat steps 7-9 with the remaining 1 pound of fresh cherries (or about 1 (16 ounce) jar of maraschino cherries).
- Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Enjoy within 2-3 days for optimal freshness!
