Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 150 grams fresh or frozen cherries (pitted and halved)
- 75 grams dark chocolate chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth and fully combined. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the sugar-egg mixture and gently combine until smooth and uniform.
In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the cherries and dark chocolate chunks, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter). Do not overbake to ensure fudgy brownies.
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cool, use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into 12 squares and serve!
