Brownie Cherry Dessert
Todays recipe post comes with a little story. Looking back, 17 years ago we had a fifteen year old daughter in the hospital that had received a new heart. The new heart would not start working and she had been laying their on Echmo for too long. It wasn’t supposed to be that way. the new heart was supposed to give her the life she needed. Previous to this her organs had shut down and she was put on a heart machine, she was one of very few children able to go home on it at that time. It was like a big suitcase and a tube ran from the machine to her heart. We were so thankful for that machine, it gave us our daughter. She hated it as you can imagine being an almost 15 year old.
First I took two throw away pans and bent them onto heart shapes. I just used a box brownie mix for the base chocolate layer. I followed the directions on the pan it was for an 8″x8″ pan. I divided the batter between the two pans. It made just the right thickness for the base layer.
I used parchment paper so I could peel the brownie layers off to display on a cake plate.
After that I layered on a can of cherry pie filling. You could make your own, for times sake I used a can.
There is none left, that is how good it was. Let me know if you will try this recipe and pleas share your pics with me.
