My friend Melissa from Veranda Interiors moved into her fabulous new home this week and I was dying to pay her a visit to catch up on life. I had the opportunity to tour her new house last night and it is fantastic in every way. Her kitchen is a dream, her pantry is picture perfect and her bar……I could go on and on. Did I mention her en suite; amazing!

A girl cannot show up empty handed. I had some fantastic cherries I picked up from the Farmers Market on Friday so I decided to make a cherry dessert. I often go to David Lebovitz for dessert ideas because he always has the most amazing ways of putting things together and he is brilliant in the kitchen. I found his recipe for cherries in red wine syrup and paired it with his goat cheese custard. I changed the white sugar out for unrefined sugar. Honey pairs so well with goat cheese so I used raw honey to sweeten the custard and I used coconut sugar in the cherries.

Goat Cheese Custard

  • 5 ounces soft goat cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup goat mlk
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla powder, paste or extract
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place four small ramekins into a deep baking dish.
  2. Blend all the ingredients in a blender or VitaMix until combined. Divide the mixture equally between the four ramekins.
  3. Pour hot water into the baking dish around the ramekins about half way up the sides of the ramekins. Cover with foil. Bake for 15 – 20 minutes. Do not over cook these.
  4. Remove from oven and let cool at room temperature. Store in the fridge if you’re not going to eat them right away.

Cherries in Red Wine Syrup

  • 1 pound cherries, stemmed and pitted
  • 1 1/2 cups red wine, I used a cabernet sauvignon
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tbsp potato starch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  1. In a medium pot add the cherries, sugar and red wine. Cook over medium heat until the mixtures boils, reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl add the potato starch and a little water or red wine and mix together. Add this mixture to the cherries and continue to cook until it is thickened.
  3. Remove from heat and add extract.

I turned out the ramekins on a plate and topped with the cherries but I think I would leave the custard in the ramekins next time.
