Never let it be said that I don't give you alternatives - here's another variation of Hodgepodge :
Cherry and Chocolate Hodgepodge
Serves 1
1 410g can of Black Cherry pie filling with
fruit separated from juices
3 meringue kisses, crushed
25g of chocolate – see below
As with the previous Hodgepodge recipe a glass bowl or sundae dish is perfect for this dessert.
Tip the cherries into a sieve and let the juices drip through – this will take a while since they are dense – it's worth the wait.
Assemble with the meringues, add a dessert spoon of cherries then add tiny pieces of chocolate of your choice – the list is endless but here's an idea or five :
plain chocolate drops
crushed Maltesers
small pieces of Rocky Road
bash a crunchy (in its wrapper – so convenient, no bits
other than where you want them to be!)
bash a flake (in its wrapper)
In the photos below I used tiny pieces of Rocky Road.
Add another dessert spoon of cherries. With the juices reserved add a drop of water to loosen – loose enough to be able to drizzle over the top of the cherries.
You'll have cherries and juices left over but I can't believe this is going to be a problem. You could either repeat the dessert or use as a topping over ice cream. If you want a grown-up version, add a drop of Kirsch to the juices but don't tell anyone I said so!
P.s. An optional extra – add a scoop of chocolate ice cream in between the cherries.
Hodgepodge again!
