    Happy 4th of July! A party is not perfect, if there is no good dessert! The one today is a bit of a mess to be honest, but it has a lot of chocolate, fresh cherries and is super delicious :) So grab a fork and let’s get the party started!

    I have celebrated Independence Day several times in the U.S. already – the last one…. well, quite some time ago unfortunately. Me really like this festivities ;) 

    I have celebrated for example at a Disney Park in Florida, in Washington on the National Mall (not far from the Washington Monument) or in Michigan with more than 100°F and tornado warnings… wherever, whatever – you need a nice bbq and dessert for the 4th of July. Otherwise it is just a regular day. There was no time for me to make a bbq this year, so there is only dessert…

    Typically you can serve cupcakes or brownies. Maybe not the ones you can see here with cherries and chocolate mousse, but it is important to celebrate in style – and with some extra calories ;)

    I got the idea for these brownies from an American Baking Magazine – can’t remember exactly which one to be honest, but probably something from Food Network – I love their magazines :D Anyways – couple years ago they smiled at me from one of those magazines and I fell instantly in love. I made them several times already, but have to say: Be careful – these brownies are not exactly healthy – the combination of a brownie with chocolate mousse is heavy stuff. Really heavy. But who cares – walk an extra mile and you will be fine. Mostly ;)

    Happy 4th of July!

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175°C). Line a square baking tin with 9×9 inches (23x23cm) with baking parchment and set aside. Mix the flour with baking powder and cocoa powder in a small bowl and set aside.

    2. Chop the chocolate coarsly. Add the butter to a microwave-safe bowl and carefully melt in the microwave. Add the chocolate, let sit for a moment, then stir until you get a nice and smooth cocolate sauce. Set aside.

    3. Add the eggs together with the sugars and salt to a large bowl and mix on high speed until light and fluffy – for about 4-5 minutes. Add the still slightly warm chocolate sauce and mix in. Add the flour mixture and mix in until just combined – do not overmix! Pour into the prepared baking tin and bake in the middle of the oven for 25-28 minutes. Take out of the oven and let cool down in the tin for some time, then remove and let cool down completely on a wire rack.

    4. For the topping wash the cherries, drain and pit them. Chop the chocolate coarsly and melt carefully in the microwave or over a pot with simmering water – let coold down again. Add the heavy cream to a bowl and mix on high speed until stiff peaks form. Take some of the whipped cream and mix with the melted chocolate, then carefully fold in the remaining whipped cream. Spread some of that mousse on top of the brownie base to get a thin layer – distribute about 1/3 of the cherries evenly on top of that layer, then cover with the remaining mousse and decorate with the remaining cherries. Let cool down in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours before serving.

    1. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Eine quadratische Backform mit 23x23cm (9×9 inches) mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. In einer kleinen Schüssel das Mehl mit Backpulver und Kakao vermischen und zur Seite stellen.

    2. Die Schokolade grob hacken. Die Butter in einer mikrowellensicheren Schüssel vorsichtig in der Mikrowelle schmelzen und dann die Schokolade zugeben, kurz stehen lassen und dann zu einer glatten Schokoladensoße verrühren. Zur Seite stellen.

    3. Die Eier in einer großen Schüssel mit den Zuckern und Salz schaumig aufschlagen – dauert etwa 4-5 Minuten. Die noch leicht warme Schokoladensoße zugeben und gut verrühren. Die Mehlmischung zugeben und nur kurz verrühren. Den Teig in die Form füllen und in der Mitte des Ofens 25-28 Minuten backen. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und erst in der Form, dann auf einem Kuchengitter abkhlen lassen.

    4. Für das Topping die Kirschen waschen und entsteinen. Die Schokolade grob hacken und in der Mikrowelle oder über einem Topf mit köchelndem Wasser vorsichtig schmelzen und wieder etwas abkühlen lassen. Die Sahne auf höchster Stufe aufschlagen, bis sie steif ist. Von der Sahne etwas zur geschmolzenen Sahne geben und verrühren, dann zur Schüssel mit der restlichen Sahne geben und vorsichtig unterheben. Eine fingerdicke Schicht der Schokomousse auf den Brownieboden streichen, darauf etwa 1/3 der Kirschen verteilen und dann mit der restlichen Mousse bestreichen – mit den verbliebenen Kirschen dekorieren und für mindestens 2-3 Stunden in den Külschrank stellen. Vor dem Servieren in Stücke schneiden

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
