The Pavesini single‑serve mini cakes with amarena cherries are the perfect dessert to serve at the end of a meal or the ideal solution when guests arrive at the last minute. Besides being irresistibly delicious, they are quick to prepare and win everyone over at the first bite.
For this recipe I chose a special ingredient: the versatile Pavesini ChocoTune, the new chocolate recipe. They are truly delightful and give an even more intense and enveloping note. The mini cakes are filled with a soft white chocolate mousse, creamy and comforting, then I add amarena cherries. Juicy and very sweet, they provide a pleasant fresh contrast. The result is a perfect marriage of textures and flavors: soft, creamy and slightly fruity. An elegant dessert, quick to make and perfect for making any occasion special, even the most unexpected!

Ingredients
- 28 Pavesini ChocoTune biscuits

How to make Pavesini single‑serve mini cakes with amarena cherries
Start by whipping the heavy cream until it reaches a firm consistency.
Work the mascarpone with the powdered sugar, mixing with an electric whisk until you obtain a smooth, homogeneous cream. Then fold in the white chocolate melted in a bain‑marie, mixing gently. Add the whipped cream and incorporate with an upward folding motion.
Prepare your serving plate and place a round pastry ring; line the inner perimeter and the bottom of the ring with Pavesini ChocoTune briefly dipped in milk.
Fill with a layer of the white chocolate mousse, then level the surface with a small spatula if necessary.
Transfer to the refrigerator and let firm up, covered, for at least 20 minutes or until serving time.
Carefully remove the pastry ring and decorate as desired with amarena cherries and chocolate sprinkles before serving.
