Cherries in the Snow is a classic dessert that originated in the United States in the 1920s. This luscious treat consists of a creamy, fluffy layer of whipped cream or meringue topped with a layer of cherry pie filling. The contrast of the bright red cherries against the snowy white cream gives the dish its name. This dessert has been a favorite in American households for generations and is often served during the holiday season. Notable chefs and restaurants have put their own spin on this timeless dessert, with variations featuring fresh cherries, almond-flavored cream, or a hint of citrus. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in traditional American diners and bakeries, where the key is to achieve the perfect balance of sweet cherries and airy cream.
