Dark Chocolate & Cherry Brownies

Rich and bittersweet dark chocolate brownies,
with dried cherries in every bite for a vibrant sweetness

Ingredients

• 225g Golden Granulated Sugar
• 3 Large Eggs
• 200g 70% Dark Chocolate
• 160g Unsalted Butter
• 65g Plain Flour (For Gluten Free Brownies Just Swap Flour To Cornflour)
• 65g Cocoa Powder
• 1tbsp Microground Instant Coffee
• 2tsp Vanilla Bean Paste
• 1tsp Flake Salt
• 75g Dried Sweet Cherries

Method

1. Pre-heat oven to 150°c fan-assisted
2. Whisk together the eggs and sugar until smooth
3. Melt the chocolate and butter together over a pan of simmering water
4. Gently stir the chocolate mixure into the eggs and sugar until incorperated
5. Chop the dried cherries to the desired size and lightly dust in a little flour (or cornflour)
6. Gradually fold in all remaining ingrediants until just mixed, Try not to over mix
7. Line a shallow rectangular pan with greaseproof paper, leaving plenty of overhang
8. Pour the mixture into your lined pan and place on the middle shelf of your oven
9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through, or until a skewer comes out clean (Gluten Free Brownies may take slightly longer, or be slightly gooey in the center, either way they’re delicious!)

If you can resist tempation, leave the brownies to cool completely before slicing into squares. Or if you’re like me, go ahead and break them up into chunks and pile over vanilla icecream!
