Black Forest Brownies

Print

I love the cherry-chocolate combination, especially with the topping of a light cream cheese frosting.

Ingredients

  • 1 box brownie mix
  • 1/4 Chocolate chips (to add to the batter, if desired)
  • 1 canscherry pie filling (16 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 ounces reduced fat cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Chocolate shavings to garnish, if desired ;-)

Directions

  1. Strain one can of the cherry pie filling to remove most of the liquid filling. No need to rinse, just remove as much as possible so as to mix just the cherries into the brownie mix.
  2. Prepare the brownies according to the package directions, stirring in the cherries from 1 can and chocolate chips (if desired) immediately before pouring into a parchment-lined 9×9 baking pan. Time: 30 min. plus baking time
