Bakewell Hot Chocolate Melt

A classic combination of cherry and almond
Inspired by the classic tart with almond fondant, this delicious Milk Hot Chocolate Melt uses a splash of cherry and a splash of Amaretto syrup, and can be served with a glacé cherry or a fresh cherry in season on the top.
The Cherry Bakewell was first created in the early 1800s, although by who and exactly when is hotly contested. All we know is that the beautiful almond and cherry flavours match perfectly with a Hot Chocolate Melt, creating a wonderful liquid take on these all-time classics. The 1883 Amaretto gives a wonderful almond flavour with the dark coloured 1883 Cherry, giving a beautiful cherry depth. Mixed together in a milk Hot Chocolate Melt and then topped with cream, it makes a perfect alternative take on the dessert. For extra extravagance, sprinkle chocolate flakes over the cream and top with a cherry.
