Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/4 cups (250g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cups (about 225g) fresh cherries, pitted and halved
  • Optional: a splash of cherry liqueur or cherry juice
  • 1/2 cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy lifting.
  2. Melt the butter gently and let it cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  6. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the pitted, halved cherries.
  8. Pour half the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth evenly.
  9. Make the fudge bliss swirl: heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips, powdered sugar, and butter. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  10. Drizzle half of the fudge bliss over the batter in the pan, then spoon the remaining batter on top. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the fudge through the batter.
  11. Drizzle the remaining fudge bliss on top and swirl gently again.
  12. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  13. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
  14. Once cooled, lift brownies out using parchment overhang, slice into squares, and serve.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough brownies. Use fresh ripe cherries for best flavor; if using frozen, thaw and drain well. Start checking brownies at 30 minutes to avoid overbaking. For fudgier brownies, refrigerate for a couple of hours before slicing. Swirling fudge bliss gently prevents it from mixing fully into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
