Ingredients

Instructions
Begin by making the chocolate ganache. In a double boiler, gently melt the dark chocolate and coconut cream over low heat until smooth and velvety. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Next, prepare the cherry compote. In a saucepan, combine cherries, agave syrup, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat for 5 7 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Season with a pinch of sea salt. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
To assemble the truffle pots, divide half of the chocolate ganache among four dessert glasses. Top each with an equal amount of cherry compote. Finish by dividing the remaining chocolate ganache on top of the compote.
Allow the dessert to set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve.
