Categories Chocolate Fruit Dessert Bake Cherry Summer Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

For sauce
1/3 cup cherry preserves
3/4 cup whipping cream
8 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
For brownies
3 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup dried tart cherries (about 3 1/2 ounces)
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup cherry preserves
Powdered sugar
Chocolate-dipped Cherries

Steps:

Make sauce:
Press preserves through fine strainer into heavy medium saucepan. Add cream and bring to simmer. Remove from heat. Add chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; chill. Rewarm before serving.)
Make brownies:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 11 x 7-inch metal baking pan. Stir chopped chocolate and butter in heavy small saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth; remove from heat. Whisk sugar, eggs and vanilla in medium bowl until blended; whisk in chocolate mixture. Sift in flour, baking powder and salt; stir to blend. Mix in dried cherries and chocolate chips, then preserves. Spread batter in prepared pan.
Bake brownies until tester inserted into center comes out with some moist crumbs still attached, about 35 minutes. Cool completely in pan on rack.
Cut brownies into 8 rectangles. Cut rectangles diagonally in half, forming triangles. Spoon warm sauce onto 8 plates. Place 2 brownie triangles atop sauce on each plate. Sift powdered sugar over. Garnish with chocolate-dipped cherries.

Tips:

To make sure your fudge is smooth and creamy, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir constantly while cooking.
Don't overcook the fudge, or it will become grainy. The fudge is done when it reaches a temperature of 234-238°F (112-114°C) on a candy thermometer.
If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the fudge by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the fudge forms a soft ball that holds its shape, it is done.
To make sure your fudge is shiny, do not stir it after it has been poured into the pan.
To make cutting the fudge easier, grease your knife with butter or cooking spray.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. You can also store the fudge in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
