| Ingredients | |
| 1-1/2 pounds | fresh dark sweet cherries with stems |
| 1 package (8 ounces) | cream cheese, softened |
| 2 tablespoons | ground hazelnuts |
| 2 tablespoons | maple syrup |
| 2 cups | white baking chips |
| 12 teaspoons | shortening, divided |
| 1-1/2 cups | milk chocolate chips |
| 1-1/2 cups | semisweet chocolate chips |
Directions
Pit cherries through the sides, leaving stems intact. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Stir in hazelnuts and syrup. Pipe into cherries.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt vanilla chips and 5 teaspoons shortening at 70% power. Microwave at additional 10- to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. In another bowl, repeat with milk chocolate chips and 3-1/2 teaspoons shortening. Repeat with semisweet chips and remaining shortening.
Holding stems, dip a third of the stuffed cherries into melted white chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Repeat with remaining cherries and milk chocolate and semisweet chocolate. Dip the white-coated cherries a second time to completely cover; let stand until set.
Reheat remaining melted chocolate if necessary. Drizzle white chocolate over cherries dipped in milk or semisweet chocolate. Drizzle milk or semisweet chocolate over white chocolate-dipped cherries. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
