Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the pitted cherries, water, lemon juice, granulated sugar, and cornstarch, and cook over medium heat. When the mixture starts to boil, reduce to a simmer and let cook for ten minutes, or until thickened. After ten minutes, pour in the vanilla extract and mix well to combine. Transfer the compote to a bowl and let cool completely at room temperature.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar, mixing so that all the sugar is coated in water. Cook the mixture over medium-low heat until it reaches 240°F (known as the soft-ball stage).
• If using powdered gelatin, dissolve the gelatin in a small amount of water. Once it forms a congealed mass, microwave the mixture for 10-15 seconds, or until fully dissolved.
• In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft-medium peaks form. Set aside.
• Once the pâte à bombe is cool to the touch, stream in the melted gelatin and mix until combined. Then, gently fold in the melted chocolate until homogenous. Finally, fold in the whipped heavy cream and mix until well combined. Refrigerate the mousse for at least 30 minutes so that it sets up.
• In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or a bowl with a hand mixer), beat together the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until medium peaks form.
• Using a clear glass or a small bowl, layer the chocolate mousse, cherry compote, and whipped cream as desired. Serve immediately, and store leftover components in the fridge for up to three days.

Steps:

• Make the black cherry sauce by combining cherries (and their juices), sugar, citric acid and almond extract in a small sauce pot. Cook on medium until the sauce holds a line on a spatula. Pour into a bowl and cool completely. If it isn't cool when you put it in the mousse, it will deflate it.
