Method

For the Beignets

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in the sour cherries.

  2. 2

    Fry the Beignets

    In a deep pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop batter into the hot oil, frying a few at a time until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

For the Chocolate Sauce

  1. 3

    Make the Chocolate Sauce

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and chopped dark chocolate. Stir continuously until the chocolate is melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the Trimbach Kirsch.
