Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9x9 inch square pan with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, chocolate, and butter. Heat the mixture in the microwave in 20 second increments until everything is fully melted. Whisk the mixture until smooth.

Add the eggs and vanilla to the butter, sugar, chocolate mixture, and whisk until fully combined.

Next, fold in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined.

Lastly, fold in the chopped chocolate and halved cherries.

Spread the batter into the prepared square pan and bake for 33-36 minutes.

Allow to cool completely in the pan before removing and cutting.

Just before you are ready to serve the brownies, make the whipped cream.

In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer while slowly pouring in the granulated sugar.

Add the vanilla and continue beating until soft peaks form, and no more! It can be easy to over-whip, so watch carefully.

Pipe the whipped cream onto the brownies and top with shaved chocolate.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dutch-Processed Cocoa for Depth 🍫
Use high-quality Dutch-processed cocoa powder instead of natural cocoa to achieve a richer, more complex chocolate flavor that complements the tart cherries perfectly.
Fold in Cherries Last ✨
Pat your cherries completely dry and fold them in at the very end to prevent excess moisture from making the batter soggy and ensure they stay distributed throughout.
Underbake Slightly for Fudginess 🎯
Pull the brownies from the oven when a toothpick inserted in the center still has a few moist crumbs—they'll continue cooking as they cool and deliver that perfect fudgy texture.
Brown Your Butter First 🧈
Melt the unsalted butter and let it brown for 2-3 minutes before adding it to your bowl, which adds a subtle nutty complexity that elevates the chocolate-cherry combination.
Chill Whipped Cream Bowl & Beaters ❄️
Freeze your mixing bowl and beaters for 15 minutes before whipping the heavy cream—cold equipment ensures faster, fluffier whipped cream that won't separate.
