Method

Melt butter in a saucepan, then whisk in sugar and flour to form a smooth paste.

Whisk in the double cream until the mixture is smooth and incorporated.

Remove from heat and stir in almonds, mixed peel, ginger, orange zest, and cherries.

Place teaspoons of the mixture onto a lined baking tray spaced 3cm apart.

Drizzle the chocolate over the cooled florentines and allow to set.

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden-brown.

Cool on the tray for two minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Melt dark chocolate in a bowl over simmering water.
