Preparation

Step 1

Combine cherries and kirsch in a bowl; stir well. Cover and chill 30 minutes.
Combine milk, sugar, and egg yolk in a medium heavy-duty saucepan; stir well. Sprinkle gelatin over milk mixture; let stand 1 minute. Place over medium heat, and cook 12 minutes or until gelatin dissolves and mixture is slightly thick, stirring constantly with a whisk. Remove from heat; add white chocolate, stirring until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Pour white chocolate mixture into a medium bowl. Place bowl over a large ice-filled bowl, and let stand 1 5 minutes or just until mixture begins to thicken, stirring every 5 minutes (do not allow gelatin to set). Gently stir in whipped topping.

Spoon 1/4 cup cherry mixture into each of 6 (8-ounce) parfait glasses; top each with 1/4 cup white chocolate mixture. Repeat layers with remaining cherry mixture and chocolate mixture. Cover and chill 1 hour. Garnish with mint leaves, if desired.
