Deliciously rich and fudgy brownies topped with a luscious cherry ganache.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then stir in the sugar until well combined.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the cherries gently.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- While the brownies are baking, prepare the ganache by heating the heavy cream in a saucepan until just simmering.
- Pour the hot cream over the chopped dark chocolate and let sit for a few minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Once the brownies are done, let them cool completely before pouring the ganache over the top.
- Allow the ganache to set before slicing into squares and serving.
Notes
- For a more intense cherry flavor, consider adding cherry extract to the batter.
- These brownies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
