This simple dessert gives you a lot of bang for your buck.  Its rich creaminess works well with the tartness of  the cherries.  I had a request for this recipe last weekend, so I made two.  One went to a friends house and the other was devoured by my family.  Everyone got one serving and my husband was going to finish the dessert off.  Little did he know Jack our boxer/sheltie beat him to it.  Who knew puppies like cherry delight.  Jack is like Houdini when it comes to getting his paws on food in the kitchen.  He is stealth and stays low until the opportune time comes along, then he attacks.  Usually quick enough to not get caught.  He was caught this time though red-handed or should I say red-faced, the cherries gave him away!
