Instructions Brownies Preheat the oven to 350 F and place a rack in the center of the oven. Line a 9" x 9" metal baking pan with parchment paper. Pit and slice the fresh cherries in half. Place the dried cherries in a microwave bowl and cover with water. Microwave for 30 seconds, then cover with a lid or foil and set aside. In a separate microwave safe bowl, melt the butter in 10-15 second increments. Pour the granulated sugar into the melted butter and whisk together. Microwave again for 30 seconds and whisk once more. Add the cocoa powder, espresso powder, salt, vanilla, and baking powder into the butter and sugar mixture and whisk together. Add the eggs into the batter and whisk until fully combined Pour the flour, strained dried cherries, fresh cherries, and chocolate chips into the bowl with the other ingredients. Use a rubber spatula to mix together. Pour the brownie batter into the lined baking pan. Bake on the center rack in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then rotate 180º and bake for another 15 minutes until a toothpick comes out with no batter stuck to it. Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and leave to cool fully. Assemble the Brownies Once the brownies have cooled, remove them from the pan with the parchment paper. Use a long sharp knife to cut the brownies into 16 pieces. Whip the cold cream on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Pipe or spread the whipped cream onto the brownies and optionally top with fresh or jarred cherries.View original recipe
