- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 (4 ounce) bar Ghirardelli® 100% Cocoa Unsweetened Chocolate Baking Bar
- 1 cup Ghirardelli® 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 1 cup morello (sour) cherries in syrup, drained thoroughly
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions
- 1. For the crust: Add the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and cocoa powder to a mixing bowl and mix together well.
- 2. Press mixture firmly into the bottom and around the edges of a tart tin (rectangle 13 3/4 x 4 1/2 inches or circle 9 1/2 inches). Place in the fridge to chill.
- 3. Chop the unsweetened chocolate bar into small chunks and combine with chocolate chips in a bowl. Set aside.

- 5. Remove crust from fridge and spoon the drained morello cherries all over the base.
- 6. Pour the chocolate on top and smooth down. Place back in the fridge to set for 2 hours.
- 7. Once chilled you can slice and serve with a spoonful of the whipped cream, and decorate each slice with a few fresh cherries.
