Notes
Roasting cherries enhances sweetness and intensifies flavor. Do not overmix batter to maintain a light, fudgy texture. Brownies should be slightly underbaked in the center for best consistency. Cooling and brief chilling help achieve clean cuts. Use Dutch process cocoa for a richer chocolate taste.
