Ingredients

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cherries
   Begin by washing and pitting the cherries. Using a cherry pitter, remove the stones from each cherry, being careful to preserve their shape. Once all cherries are pitted, place them in a bowl and set aside.

2. Stuff the Cherries
   Roughly chop the dark chocolate into small pieces. Stuff each pitted cherry with a piece of the chopped chocolate, filling the hole where the pit was removed. Set these prepared cherries aside for later use.

3. Prepare the Puff Pastry
   Roll out the puff pastry sheet onto a clean surface. Using a sharp knife, cut the pastry sheet into two equal long strips lengthwise. Brush the bottom side of each strip with melted butter, ensuring an even coating.

4. Add Sugar and Cherries
   Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the buttered side of each pastry strip. Then, line the cherries with chocolate along the length of each strip, ensuring they are spaced evenly across the entire length.

5. Roll the Pastry
   Once the cherries are arranged, carefully roll each strip of pastry from one end to the other, keeping the cherries in place. The result should be two long, filled rolls of puff pastry.

6. Prepare the Baking Pan
   Take a round baking pan (18 cm in diameter) and line the bottom with parchment paper cut to size. This will prevent the pastry from sticking and ensure a perfect presentation when it’s done.

7. Shape and Place in the Pan
   Gently form each puff pastry roll into a swirl shape and place them together in the center of the prepared baking pan. The rolls should fit snugly but should not be forced into the pan.

8. Final Sugar Coating
   Sprinkle the top of the pastry swirl with additional brown sugar to give it a golden, caramelized finish.

9. Baking
   Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) with the fan on (for a fan-assisted oven). Place the pan in the middle of the oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp.

10. Serving
    Once the cherry puff pastry swirl is golden and puffed up, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature for a delightful dessert that’s both elegant and comforting.

Enjoy this beautiful swirl of pastry with the delicious contrast of chocolate-filled cherries! It’s perfect for any occasion, whether you’re hosting a gathering or simply craving a sweet treat.
