Black Forest is a dessert in a glass that delights with layers of rich chocolate mousse, juicy cherry compote and fresh whipped cream.
Black Forest or Black Forest cake is a chocolate sponge cake with a rich cherry filling. According to one opinion, the name comes from the special liqueur of the region, known as Schwarzwälder Kirsch (wasser), which is distilled from cherries. This is the ingredient that gives the dessert its characteristic cherry stone flavour and alcohol content.
Some sources claim that the name of the cake was inspired by the traditional costume of the women of the Black Forest region, with a distinctive hat with large red pompons on top, called a Bollenhut.
In this recipe, however, we will move from the classic cake form to glasses, offering a more modern version.
BAM tip: Be careful not to whip the sweet cream too much. The finishing touch to this recipe is homemade whipped cream, which can easily be over-whipped. Whip the cream just long enough for medium peaks to form and for the whipped cream to stop being runny.
