So if you have not seen my other posts, I must let you know I am on a mission to re-create all of my retro childhood sweets and make them keto AND gluten free!
This recipe is no different! It is another l*ttle debb*e copycat treat……CHERRY CORDIALS!
I only add a few real cherries because the bulk of it comes from my favorite Keto Jel powder by Simply Delish Naturals!
Yes I have seen where its added to pre-made cool whip but that is not how I do things here, I figured out how to make it all from scratch!
First make the cakes, cut them out and cool in the fridge overnight. Make the filling the next day then coat with chocolate and put in freezer to set. Once set it can stay at room temperature up to 24hrs. Keep in fridge after that. These can be frozen before covering with chocolate then cover with fresh melted chocolate the day of or a day before. The chocolate coating may not keep if frozen.
