Roasted Cherry Chocolate Brownies + A Very Cute How-To Video - Easy Recipes for Family Time - Seeded At The Table (1)These brownies... they are "IT!" And, I'm not talking about the horrid Stephen King clown/novel-turned-into-movie that I shouldn't have snuck behind my parents' back to watch at the age of 12. I can't even tell you how long afterwards I decided I could finally brave a shower again. Seriously.

But, very seriously, these brownies are what I should've braved a long long time ago, at the age of 12 even. Although this particular recipe includes roasted cherries, I have decided that the base will now be my go-to homemade brownies recipe...no mix-ins needed. If you know me at all, this is saying A LOT, because you will know my love for boxed brownies. (Not that I'm giving up boxed brownies, either.) 😉

Roasted Cherry Chocolate Brownies + A Very Cute How-To Video - Easy Recipes for Family Time - Seeded At The Table (2)My biggest regret here is that I didn't get a decent photo to show off the roasted cherries inside the brownies. Your imagination will have finish the work. It's my fault, as I forgot to chop up the brownies and just stirred them in whole. Soooo, they weren't spread throughout the batter as much, therefore not every bite exposed a cherry. Oops! Please learn from my mistake. But, they were still just as merry cherry wonderful!

I also decided to share this quick little video on how to use my new cherry pitter. I love this thing. I was "forced" to buy it after I bought my many pounds of cherries then realized my single cherry pitter is packed away in storage right now. Oops. So, I quickly ordered this from Amazon and SO glad I did! It's inexpensive and pits 4 cherries at a time. Much quicker and less messy than my one packed in storage. The best part of this video? My 2-year old shows you how it's done. 😉 (Just know he was adult supervised the entire time.)

Roasted Cherry Chocolate Brownies

Prep Time20 minutes mins

Cook Time35 minutes mins

Total Time55 minutes mins

Servings: 12 to 16 servings

Author: Nikki Gladd

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh cherries , pitted and halved
  • 1 ¼ cups , plus 2 Tablespoons sugar, divided
  • 5 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate , chopped
  • 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate , chopped
  • 8 Tablespoons unsalted butter , cut into quarters
  • 3 Tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spread the cherries on a small roasting pan and sprinkle with 2 Tablespoons of the sugar. Toss to combine. Roast for 10 minutes, or until the juices start oozing. Remove the pan from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.

  • Line a 9x9-inch or 8x8-inch (I prefer) baking pan with foil and lightly spray the foil with cooking spray. Alternatively, omit the foil and spray the pan with Baker's Joy (this is what I use, and I have clean release every time.)

  • In a heatproof bowl (I use my stand mixer bowl) set over a sauce pan of barely simmering water (or use a double boiler), melt the chocolate and butter, stirring occasionally until smooth. Whisk in the cocoa powder until thoroughly incorporated. Set aside to cool.

  • In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, remaining sugar, vanilla and salt until combined, about 15 seconds. Mix in the warm chocolate mixture until smooth. Add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. Gently fold in the roasted cherries.

  • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly with a rubber spatula. Bake for about 35 minutes (for 9x9-inch pan) or 40-45 minutes (for 8x8-inch pan), or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or just with a small amount of sticky crumbs. Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, at least 2 hours.

  • If you used the foil, remove the brownies from the pan using the foil and transfer to a cutting board. If you used the Baker's Joy instead, you can just cut the brownies while in the pan.

FAQs

Once you've baked your brownies, cut into squares and cool before freezing on a large tray, spacing them out so they don't freeze together (you'll need a bit of space in the freezer to do this). Then keep, frozen, in bags and defrost individually whenever you fancy one!

How do you present homemade brownies? ›

What is the best thing to add to brownies? ›

Adding a layer of cream cheese, marshmallow fluff, caramel, or peanut butter goes a long way towards turning a mix into something special. You can add this layer before or after baking the brownies.

Are brownies better with milk or water? ›

Sticking with the theme of richer flavored brownies, using milk instead of water is an absolute MUST. The fat from the milk adds flavor and fudgy texture that water just can't achieve. If you want to add even more flavor, use one of your favorite flavored coffee creamers instead of water or milk.

Do brownies go on top or bottom of oven? ›

Bake to perfection

First things first, bake your brownies on a rack positioned in the middle of your oven. If the pan is too close to the bottom, then the bottom could burn before the top gets a chance to bake. If it is too close to the top, then the top will bake too fast and leave raw brownie batter on the bottom.

Is it better to cut brownies when hot or cold? ›

The single most important step in cutting brownies cleanly is to be sure they are completely cooled before you attempt to cut them. We have methods that will give you perfect brownies but none of them will work if you're impatient and cut hot or even warm brownies.

Can you freeze brownies in Ziploc bags? ›

Yes. You can freeze brownies with or without nuts in an airtight container for up to two months. If wrapping brownies still in the pan, ensure it is airtight and sealed before placing them in the freezer.

Can you put brownies straight in the freezer? ›

Brownies, like most other baked goods, can be frozen successfully, though we would be a little cautious on freezing the type of brownie which has a cheesecake swirl or layer as these can sometimes "sweat" a little on thawing (they are fine to eat but may feel a little moist on the surface).

What does freezing brownies do? ›

Freezing an entire pan of brownies is the best way to protect them from freezer burn and oxidation. Additionally, while air may creep into the pan and affect the edge of the brownies over time, the center will be fully protected from drying out.

How do you present and serve plated desserts? ›

Tips to perfect presentation:
  1. Make sure all plates are sparkling clean: Dirty plates are a quick way to deter guests.
  2. Adapt the presentation to the occasion.
  3. Balance variety and contrast with texture: Plates with a hint of complexity draw the eye.
  4. Garnish where appropriate: Bring a pop of color to a cheesecake.
