Growing up my Dad and my sister were addicted to Cherry Ripes, I was a bit of Milky Way and a Mars Bars kind-a-girl, but as I got older I acquired the taste of dark chocolate and understood their love of the old Cherry Ripe and its rich colourful centre. These days I don't indulge much in confectionery unless I make it myself, so here I have invented the "cherry-ripe wheel" on the old favourite using clean ingredients and unrefined sweeteners. Christmas is fast approaching and cherries are deliciously in-season, yay! I am loving all the fruits that come out at this time of year in Australia, particularly the cherries, berries and the gorgeous stone fruits. In honour of these beautiful Summer produce I have created my Cherry Berry Slice with Rose Petals. The addition of rose adds an extra element of extravagance to this dessert. I love to use rose petal tea to decorate! I hope you enjoy this beautiful dessert that I have created in celebration of Christmas and memories of old.
