1 1/3 cup of all purpose flour

1/4 cup of cocoa powder

1/4 tsp of baking powder

1/8 tsp of salt

1/2 cup of confectioners sugar

1/4 cup of raw sugar

3 oz of cold cream cheese

1 stick of cubed frozen butter

2 tablespoons of heavy cream

1 tablespoon of cider vinegar

Combine dry ingredients, then cream cheese, then butter, then heavy cream & cider vinegar. Freeze for an hour

Chocolate:

2/3 cup of heavy cream

1/3 cup of condensed milk

Simmer in a sauce pan.

8oz of Mayan dark chocolate

Pour hot cream mixture over chocolate and whisk until blended.

add 2 eggs

1 tsp of vanilla extract

3 tablespoons of Chile powder

Set aside bowl and cover with plastic wrap.

In a small sauce pan

1 1/2 cups of pitted cherries

1/4 of raw sugar,

1 tablespoon of honey.

Bring to a boil, constantly stirring.

Then lower temperature and reduce.

Roll out crust and layer chocolate/cherries/chocolate.

Save a few cherries for a garnish.

Bake at 375 for about 45 minutes, or until you can stick a knife in the middle and it comes out clean.

Happy baking and Have a great week!
