Good to know
Chef's tip
💡 For an even more indulgent verrine, lightly soak the brownie with a little cherry juice or a splash of kirsch 🍒🔥! It intensifies the flavor and makes the verrine ultra-gooey.
Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?
Not recommendedThe assembled dessert can't be frozen. The custard and whipped cream break down completely after thawing.
Storage : How long does it keep?
Not ideal once assembled. The cream and brownie lose their texture. The components (baked brownie, cherry compote) keep 3 days in the fridge separately in airtight containers. Assemble just before serving.
Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?
YesKeeps 12 to 24h at most in the refrigerator in individually covered glasses, to maintain the texture of the whipped cream.
Reheating : How do you reheat it?
Cold dessert, not reheated.
Variations
- Use chocolate sponge cake instead of brownie.
- Sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
- Lightly soak with the cherry juice.
Mistakes to avoid
- Whipping the cream in a warm bowl: use a well-chilled bowl.
- Topping with whipped cream too early: do it just before serving.
- Forgetting to drain the cherries.
Frequently asked questions
How do you make a Black Forest verrine?
Whip the cream with sugar and vanilla, divide brownie cubes among the glasses, add the drained cherries, pour over the vanilla custard, refrigerate for 30 minutes, and add the whipped cream before serving.
How do you get the whipped cream right?
Pour the heavy cream into a well-chilled bowl and whip until you get firm whipped cream, then add the sugar and vanilla and fold in gently.
Which cake should you use?
200 g of brownie or chocolate sponge cake, cut into small cubes and divided among the bottoms of the glasses. They are lightly soaked by the cherry juice.
When should you add the whipped cream?
Just before serving, top each verrine with a thick layer of whipped cream, sprinkle with chocolate shavings if you like, and serve well chilled.
