Description

This Cherry Cinnamon Dessert Ring is a nostalgic treat that combines the bright tartness of frozen sweet cherries with the warm, comforting aroma of cinnamon. The mixture is set into a smooth, elegant gelatin ring, creating a delicate texture that melts in your mouth. It&# 226;€™s an easy-to-prepare dessert that looks impressive on the table yet requires minimal effort. Perfect for summer gatherings, potlucks, or as a light, refreshing finish to a heavier meal. Serve it chilled with a dollop of whipped cream for a classic presentation that appeals to both kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the frozen sweet cherries, 3 cups of water, sugar, and cinnamon sticks.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes to soften the cherries and infuse the flavors.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the cinnamon sticks.
  5. Stir in the almond extract and set the cherry mixture aside to cool slightly.
  6. In a small saucepan, place the remaining water.
  7. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the water and let it stand for 1 minute to bloom.
  8. Heat the gelatin mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
  9. Pour the dissolved gelatin into the cherry mixture and stir well to combine thoroughly.
  10. Refrigerate the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it begins to thicken slightly (about 30-45 minutes).
  11. Spoon the thickened mixture into a 5 1/2 cup ring mold, ensuring the cherries are distributed evenly.
  12. Refrigerate the mold for 3-4 hours, or until the dessert is completely set.
  13. To unmold, dip the bottom of the ring mold briefly in warm water, then invert onto a serving platter.
  14. Serve chilled, topped with sweetened whipped cream if desired.
