For the garnish:

Preparation method:

  1. Prepare a loaf tin by greasing it and lining it with baking paper.
  2. Soak the cherries and citrus peel in the naartjie juice for 30 mins or longer. Drain just before use.
  3. Whip the ice cold chocolate Velvet to light and frothy.

  8. Unmould onto your serving platter and garnish. Lastly drizzle with the chocolate dessert topping.
