Chocolate cream with cherries
Description
This chocolate cream with cherries can be used as a filling for pastries, cake glaze, or simply as a cake cream. It all depends on the thickness you prepare it to. For example, if you pour the freshly made cream over a cake and chill it, you'll get a wonderful glaze. If you let it set, you can use this cream to fill eclairs, or simply as a spread for cake layers (preferably sponge cake).

1. This cream can be prepared for any sponge cake. Fresh cherries pair perfectly with chocolate layers, and in this recipe, they are included in the cream as cherry jam syrup. If desired, you can leave whole berries, or even better, layer the cake with cream and fresh cherries.

5. The cream will turn out to be liquid, so put it in the refrigerator to let it set slightly. After that, you can use this cream to fill pastries or spread between cake layers. If you want to cover the cake with chocolate glaze, do it immediately after preparing this cream. Pour the glaze over the cake, and only then put it in the refrigerator to set.
