I made this beautiful dessert at the height of the cherry season. I gave the pan away and kept 3
slices. When I handed Jim the last slice I regretted not keeping one more for myself. Make it
from fresh ingredients or from convenience products, either way the result will be an outstanding
cream slice. The one thing I believe is essential is to make the cherry pie filling from scratch.
Use fresh, frozen or canned pitted cherries. If you have to buy canned cherries 2 cans will
suffice. One could always resort to commercial cherry pie filling, but the fake flavour and colour
would in my opinion spoil the slice. Prepare the first three ingredients and let them cool down to
room temperature or prepare them a day ahead. The cream should be whipped just before
assembly. These slices are simpler to make than they appear.
