Difficult
I was inspired to create this dessert while strolling through a charming farmer’s market. An artisanal basket full of fresh, juicy cherries caught my eye and I knew I had to use this gorgeous Ontario summer produce in my fresh creation. Ontario, specifically Niagara-on-the-lake (Ontario’s wine country), is known for its ice wine, and I have chosen the product from Inniskillin Wines as my local ingredient.
