This Cheerwine-themed holiday dessert was inspired by Chef Chris Coleman’s mother-in-law who loves the chocolate cherry cordials you find in the grocery stores around Christmas. Coleman, from The Goodyear House and Old Town Kitchen & Cocktails, stuffs the log-shaped flourless chocolate cake with a Cheerwine mousse creating a light cake with an airy filling. And by using whipped cream instead of buttercream, he’s created an indulgent dessert without it being too heavy.

The chocolate cake recipe Chef Jossie Lukacik draws inspiration from to create this Cheerwine-inspired version has been passed down through at least three generations of pastry chefs. She used our magic ingredient, Cheerwine Syrup, in place of the usual liquid, and finishes it off with a delectable Cheerwine Chocolate Glaze that will leave everyone wanting more!
