Cherry and White Chocolate Chip Brownies


I stumbled across this recipe recently and absolutely couldn't resist it.  I mean, seriously.  Chocolate, cherries, white chocolate...what's not to love?  I made some changes according to what I had in my pantry, and these brownies are totally amazing.  They are super moist and fudgy with little bursts of tart cherry and smooth white chocolate.  Delicious, easy, and irresistible!

Cherry and White Chocolate Chip Brownies

1/2 cup dried cherries
2 Tablespoons maraschino cherry juice
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
3/4 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup white chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 325F.  Line the bottom of an 8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, letting the edges hang over the sides.  Lightly spray the parchment and pan with cooking spray.

Place the dried cherries and cherry juice in a small microwaveable bowl and microwave for 30 to 60 seconds, or until the juice is boiling.  Remove cherries from the microwave and let sit for about 10 minutes, or until much of the juice has been absorbed.

Place the semi sweet chocolate chips and butter in a large microwaveable bowl.  Heat in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.  Whisk in the sugar and salt until combined.  Add the eggs and whisk until completely incorporated.  Stir in the flour until just combined, followed by the white chocolate chips and the dried cherry mixture until evenly distributed.  

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.  Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top forms a shiny crust, and is soft to the touch.  Remove brownies from the oven and let cool completely.  Run a knife around the edge of the brownies to loosen from the pan, then lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper as handles.  Cut the brownies into squares.  These brownies are quite fudgy, so to make clean cuts, wipe the blade of the knife after each cut.  Makes 16 brownies.

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
