Wow, that ingredient list is not what comes to mind when one says "Amish...." :/ To die for, for sure....

I don't have too many of those ingredients in my cupboard

Neither do we, that's why we just bought a SMALL chunk of this "cheese" to try out.
Darn good thing that place is over an hour away from us.

I found it hard to believe they called it cheese. It tastes more like fudge......

Yeah, but a cheese label should say things like milk, cultures, rennet, salt. A fudge label should say things like sugar, cocoa, butter, milk, vanilla, salt. Something called chocolate-cherry should have cocoa and cherries in it! Waaaaaaa!!!

Yup, I can picture some little old Amish lady in her sunny kitchen, with the woodstove blazing nearby, carefully measuring out the potassium sorbate!

Thank GOD it is a "once a year" sin thing for us!!

OK, now I am thinking....strain some chevre well, stir in some sweet cherries, and swirl in some type of fudge sauce, maybe that coconut butter version Bubblingbrooks posted or linked to once.....marbling it attractively. Made with raw goat's milk, plenty of organic cherries from the farmer's market, and lovely organic coconut butter and raw local wildflower honey.

Served with chocolate black bean cake!

Now we're talkin'.........
