Well, yesterday I spent a lot of time writing out this recipe and lost it when I went to post it! I searched and searched for it with no luck.........so we'll try it again. Today is a rainy day in Oklahoma. So, Bob wanted to make dinner........put in a roast with potatoes, carrots, onions and cabbage wedges........it was wonderful. Then I took on the task to giving Molly, our dog, a bath! I know you are thinking how strange since its raining but it is really warm out......67! She got the bath in the bathtub.........which she hates...........but all went well.
I know you don't have this recipe cause I just made it up on Monday........first make a chocolate crumb crust. Now, I know you can buy these premade..........but I think they are made with oil or margarine.........I grind up (I just put them in a baggy and beat them with a rolling pin) about 1/2 box of pure chocolate wafers.......then add 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup melted butter, mix well and spoon into an 8 x 8 pan and press. I put mine in the oven for about 10 min at 350 degrees just to set it........but you really don't have to.
Then beat up about 3/4 cup whip cream with 1 Tblsp sugar til almost soft peaks..........throw in 1/2 pkg very soft cream cheese (4 oz) and beat til peaks form........Spoon this onto your cooled chocolate crust and smooth out and place in frig. Drain a can of dark sweet cherries into a 2 cup measuring cup. Then drain a can of crushed pineapple into the same cup.......now add enough water to make 1 1/2 cups of liquid all together........heat to hot in the microwave.....then put a sm pkg of black cherry jello in a bowl.......pour in the hot liquid and stir til dissolved. Put in frig for about an hour........when the jello is the constancy of egg whites.......stir in the cherries and pineapple and pour over the cream cheese mixture in the frig........refrigerate for a couple hours........cut in squares to serve with whip cream if you like..........THIS is soooo good.........I get really hungry for cherries and I don't know about where you live but in Oklahoma this summer buying cherries was a major purchase! This would make a pretty Christmas dessert.
