Instructions

  1. Line the bottom of a large glass bowl with the cake slices. Drain the cherries and collect 6 tablespoons of juice. Put the cherries and juice on the cake and drizzle with the kirsch.
  2. Mix the cornstarch and sugar with a little milk to form a smooth paste, then work in the yolk and egg while stirring vigorously. Heat the rest of the milk until just before boiling point and pour over the egg mixture, stir vigorously.
  3. Heat the mixture in a water bath while stirring until it thickens, then stir in the chocolate. Pour the chocolate cream over the cherries and place in the fridge to cool. Then spread the whipped cream on top and use the back of a spoon to make decorative tips. Put in the fridge again.
  4. For the chocolate chips, spread the melted dark chocolate thinly on a marble or acrylic board. When it is just beginning to set, pull a knife through it at an angle so that shavings form. Work quickly and collect the chips immediately. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  5. Garnish with the chocolate chips and maraschino cherries, then serve.
