Method

Whisk the egg in a bowl until thick and glossy and set aside.

Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water.

Heat the milk, double cream and Horlicks Chocolate in a saucepan over a medium heat until it comes to a boil.

Pour the warm cream mixture over the whisked egg and then add the melted chocolate and the chilli flakes, mixing gently until well combined. Once fully mixed, pour into glasses and cool.

Halve the cherries, adding a splash of kirsch and a squeeze of lemon, then leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
