Chocolate Cherry Crisp is a decadent blend of sweet cherries and chocolate chips, with a delicious crispy oat topping; perfect when served with a side of ice cream.
You may have noticed that things look a bit different around here now, last Friday I took the plunge and switched the blog over to WP and I couldn’t be happier! I am still learning and trying to get the hang of all the fun new features and learning the ins and outs of my new platform.
Sometimes I crave a little something sweet in the afternoon, ok I’ll be honest – most days I do. Just the other day I opened the freezer to make myself a smoothie, I am trying to be healthier this year I promise, but somedays are better than others. Anyway freezer open, I’m rummaging around for frozen fruit and a brilliant thought came to me, chocolate. I know what you’re thinking… she is brilliant indeed! Ok, so chocolate plus cherries, a truly delicious combo, but what if it were a crisp? So I started pulling things out of the pantry and the cabinets and less than 30 minutes later my daughter and I sat across from one another enjoying piping hot bites of today’s recipe.
A decadent blend of sweet cherries and chocolate chips, with a delicious crisp oat topping. You can really send this dessert over the top if you add a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream; but honestly it doesn’t need it; it’s so good all on its own! It tastes almost like eating a warm, gooey chocolate covered cherry and fresh from the oven oatmeal cookie. I just know you are going to love this recipe as much as we did, but you’ll want to make more than one if you plan on sharing, I know next time I will. Enjoy and happy baking!
