Chocolate vareniki with cherries
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Chocolate is added to the dumpling filling. I used dark chocolate. If you have a sweet tooth, add a bit of sugar, but keep in mind that this may cause the cherries to release more juice. To prevent the chocolate dumplings from tearing during cooking, keep them in the freezer beforehand. Serve hot.
