A little nutritional info

Banania

Together, sour cherry and chocolate make for a very delicious duo for dessert, but cherries are also among the sweetest fruits, so this dessert is best when enjoyed only occasionally. You can limit the amount of added sugars in this recipe by substituting the sour cherry spread with a cherry purée. It’s simple to do: just heat the cherries up in a saucepan with a little water, until they crush easily. Then run them through the blender according to your preference.
