 Categories: Desserts, Fruits, Appetizers, Chocolate
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      2    Squares unsweetened chocolate
      6 oz Semi sweet chocolate
    1/2 c  Almonds; chopped
      4    Egg whites
    1/8 ts Cream of tartar
    1/8 ts Salt                           
    1/4 c  Sugar
  2 1/2 c  Whipping cream
      2 ts Sugar
      1 tb Vanilla
      6 oz Candied red cherries; chopped

  In a microwave oven or over boiling water, melt both kinds of
  chocolate. Set aside to cool. Toast the almonds in a shallow pan in
  a moderate oven (350 F) for about 10 minutes. Beat egg whites with
  cream of tartar and salt until foamy white. Gradually beat in
  1/4 cup of sugar, 1 tb at a time, until soft peaks form. Beat
  2 cups of cream in a bowl until stiff. Beat in two teaspoons of
  sugar, vanilla, and melted chocolate, blend well. Fold the beaten
  egg whites, chopped cherries, toasted almonds, and melted
  semi-sweet chocolate into the whipped cream mixture. Small chunks
  of chocolate may remain. Place paper baking cups in 24 muffin-pan
  cups (about 2" diameter). Freeze until firm, 4 hours or overnight.
  Beat remaining 1/2 cup of cream in a small bowl until stiff.
  Garnish each tortoni with a rosette of cream and a candied cherry.
