Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh sweet cherries washed, pitted, and sliced in half lengthwise
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips melted gently for a rich fudgy base foundation
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted completely to provide velvety texture
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar dissolved smoothly into the egg mixture
  • 3 large eggs whipped until pale and frothy for crust rise
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour sifted well to bind the chocolate paste texture

Equipment

  • 1 Square Baking Pan 8x8 inch size lined with parchment paper
  • 1 Baking sheet To roast the fresh cherry halves safely
  • 1 Electric Hand Mixer To froth the egg and sugar layers properly

Method
 

  1. Roast the fresh cherry halves on a parchment-lined pan at 400°F for twelve minutes until slightly caramelized.
  2. Melt the dark chocolate chips and unsalted butter over a double boiler until smooth and velvety.
  3. Beat the eggs and sugar together vigorously with a mixer until the mixture looks pale and frothy.
  4. Fold the cooled chocolate and sifted flour gently into the egg base until a uniform dark paste forms.
  5. Pour batter into an 8x8 pan, arrange roasted cherries on top, and bake at 350°F for twenty-five minutes.

Notes

Roast the fresh cherries on a separate pan before adding them to the batter to draw out excess moisture and prevent a soggy bake. Whip your sugar and eggs until pale and frothy to achieve a shiny, tissue-thin crinkle crust.
