Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cherry pie filling
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the cherry pie filling and chocolate chips gently using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with the spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- After cooling, cut the dessert into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Cherry Chocolate Triple Threat!
Tips
- • For the most luxurious texture, ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before mixing • Don't overmix the batter—this can lead to tough, dense brownies • Use high-quality cocoa powder for the most intense chocolate flavor • Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and perfect square cuts • Let the dessert cool slightly before cutting to help it set and maintain its shape • For an extra indulgent touch, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, though they're best enjoyed fresh
