• 1 tub 226g / 8 oz cream cheese at room temperature
• 6 tbsp dark cherry preserve

Directions

• Scoop 1 tsp melted chocolate in each cone, then turn the cone until the whole cone is filled with a layer of chocolate.
• Allow to set in the freezer for 10 minutes.
• Mix cream cheese, 1/2 cup melted chocolate and black cherry preserve together well.
• Fold in the whipped cream.
• Fill each cone with the cheesecake mixture until almost the top.
• Top with more melted chocolate and allow to set for a further 10 minutes in the freezer.
• Chop 300g chocolate in a blender to make chocolate crumbs.
• Cover (I used a pastry brush) each cone with a layer of melted chocolate.
• Top with chocolate crumbs all over the cone.
