Quick and Easy Three Ingredient Black Cherry Dessert Minis

One of the things I love about the holidays is all the entertaining. Well, really, I like the appetizers and tiny foods. Yeah, I said it. This girl could live on only appetizers and be pretty happy.

So many times, though, the tiny desserts are things like cookies or two bite apple pies. While I love those things – and I do mean love – I wanted a little something different. Something that wasn’t so heavy, yet was still satisfying. That’s what I love about these three ingredient Black Cherry dessert minis.

I was perusing the Holiday Survival Guide and came across a version of these. These are so simple and easy to make, yet really impress your guests. They’ll never know that you slaved away for like 5 minutes on these Black Cherry Dessert Minis. They’re light and fruity, but still really satisfying.

I know what you’re saying to yourself – “Three ingredients AND five minutes? How can that be?” IT’S TRUE! You see, the magic is in the ingredients. When you combine them, it’s like an amazing transformation, and you don’t even have to work. Whoa, right?!?
