Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 180 grams dark chocolate chips
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams dried cherries
- 50 grams slivered almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang to make removal easier.
In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the dark chocolate chips and unsalted butter, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly frothy.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, whisking constantly to incorporate.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the dried cherries and slivered almonds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are crisp and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from oven and allow the brownie crisp to cool completely in the pan before lifting it out using the parchment overhang.
Cut into 12 squares or desired portions and serve. Enjoy the crunch and bursts of cherry goodness!
