Directions
Chocolate Shortcakes With Sour Cherry Topping, Chocolatey biscuits topped with dollops of whipped cream and drizzled with a sour-sweet cherry topping , Yummy! This rating is just for the shortcakes (used strawberries instead) I reduced the sugar by half and thought they were perfect that way the dark chocolatey flavor really shone through Also, I made 9 drop biscuits rather than rolling out the dough It worked just fine 🙂
