Best ways to enjoy it
Cherry Pie Bombs are delightful on their own, but you can elevate your serving game. Consider drizzling a little icing or powdered sugar over the top for a bit of sweetness. Pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra decadent dessert. If you’re feeling adventurous, a sprinkle of crushed almonds or walnuts on top can add a delightful crunch!
How to store
Storing leftovers is easy! Allow your Cherry Pie Bombs to cool entirely before placing them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you want to save them for later, throw them in the freezer—just make sure they’re wrapped tightly to prevent freezer burn. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, reheat in the oven for a few minutes to get that fresh-baked taste back!
Helpful cooking tips
Here are a few cooking tips to ensure your Cherry Pie Bombs turn out perfect every time:
- Make sure to pinch the edges well to avoid any spillage of the cherry filling.
- Utilize a fork to press down on the edges for a decorative touch and to create a tighter seal.
- If the biscuits seem too thick, you can lightly roll them out further to avoid any doughy texture.
Creative twists
There are numerous ways to give these Cherry Pie Bombs your own flair! Swap the cherry filling for other fruits like raspberry, peach, or even Nutella for a chocolatey twist. You could also sprinkle some cinnamon and sugar on top before baking for a sweet crunch. Experimenting with flavors can lead to uniquely fun experiences!
