Melt butter, sugar, and flour in a pan over medium heat until dissolved.

Mix in the almonds, candied peel, stem ginger, and sour cherries.

Place teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto a lined tray, spaced 2.5cm apart.

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden-brown, then cool on a wire rack.

Stir in the crème fraîche gradually until the mixture is well combined.

Spread the melted chocolate over the flat bases of the cooled florentines.

Melt the dark chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water.
