Description

Chocolate Cherry Brownies Recipe Description: These decadent chocolate cherry brownies combine the richness of fudgy chocolate with the sweet-tart flavor of cherries. A perfect dessert for any occasion, they’re simple to make and guaranteed to satisfy your chocolate cravings.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • :
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and chopped (or 1/2 cup maraschino cherries, drained)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional for extra chocolatey goodness)

Instructions

  • :
  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • Mix Together: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Add Chocolate and Cherries: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped cherries, ensuring they’re evenly distributed in the batter.
  • Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with just a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • :
  • You can use dried cherries if fresh or frozen are unavailable, but they’ll give a chewier texture.
  • For extra richness, top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream when serving.
  • These brownies are best enjoyed the day after baking as the flavors meld together.
