Cherry And Chocolate Brownies Recipe

Indulge in these decadent Cherry Chocolate Brownies, a recipe straight from the March 2005 issue of 'Fresh' magazine! Submitted by a young Sharon Johnston of Mount Crosby, Queensland, this recipe is a nostalgic trip to a 'slice of heaven.' Rich, fudgy brownies are perfectly complemented by sweet cherries. This recipe remains true to Sharon's original—resisting the temptation to add nuts (though macadamia and coconut would be delicious!). Prepare to be transported back to 2005 with every bite.

  4. Microwave on medium/50% power for 2 minutes, stirring once halfway, or until completely melted and smooth.
  5. Add 150g (5.3 oz) granulated sugar and whisk vigorously until fully dissolved.
  6. Whisk in 2 large eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  7. Gently fold in 75g (2.6 oz) all-purpose flour and 50g (1.8 oz) desiccated coconut.
  8. Fold in 100g (3.5 oz) fresh or frozen cherries, halved if large.
