I made this as directed and thought it was great. Very easy, and I like that the dessert was dominated by the cherries. I used frozen sweet cherries.

Fast, no heating the kitchen (important on a hot day!), a lovely dessert that's not too sweet and even supplies protein - what's not to love? Had to make substitutions based on what I had, and still it was delicious. Subbed rum for kirsch and cacao nibs for the dark chocolate... but I had the rest, including fresh cherries. So good! Really nice combo of flavors. Better than the sum of its parts. Must try!

Tina

Can you suggest a non-alcoholic substitute for the kirsch?

Grenadine. While not a cherry extract, it has a robust, slightly bitter fruit flavor that comes close. But unlike clear kirsch, grenadine will turn this dish very red.
