My first time eating REAL cherries was during my trip to Argentina. hen I was a little girl, I did not like the fake cherries that were used to top ice creams and my sister or dad always eat them. FAKE cherries are unpitted and bathed in red coloring and corn syrup. But when I taste REAL cherries (WOW) things changed. My first time eating REAL cherries was during my trip to Argentina. They are plum colored and have a small seed. Cherries are not sweet as strawberries and neither nitter as raspberries. It is a low sugar fruit, high in antioxidants.
In Puerto Rico you can only find cherries at Costco. I was very curious about this powerful fruit because everytime I scrolled through my Instagram account, I saw beautiful pictures with cherries because we are in cherry season, but here, cherries are not grown.
I wanted my first creation with cherries to be paired with chocolate because, again, Instagram influence ( you know… Instagram is my fav solcial media!)
So what a better way to try cherries in a nice cream!? I prepared a double flavor nice cream consisting of pure cocoa powder and pure cherries. Then, I topped the Chocolate and Cherry Nice Cream with macadamia flour! I really suggest you to use macadamia for topping because it puts this dish to a higher level! If you do not have macadamia nuts or flour, then you can buy Icadelicias Macadamia Spread!
