Brownies are one of my favorite food groups. I like cakey, chewy, with nuts, without nuts, frosted and unfrosted. So what makes this brownie recipe stand out? It has to be the addition of almond extract, almonds, maraschino cherries and white chocolate chips. Its fun pie shape was unusual and made a fun presentation. This made a delicious Sunday Dessert--everyone loved it. I'm happy to add it to my list of yummy brownie recipes!
Great American Brownie Pie
1/2 cup butter softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2/3 cup flour
1/3 cup cocoa
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup chopped maraschino cherries
1/3 cup sliced almonds
1 cup white chocolate chips (I used mini white chips)
Cream butter and sugar, add eggs, corn syrup and almond extract. Mix well. Combine flour, cocoa and baking powder, whisk to combine. Add to creamed mixture and stir gently. Drain chopped cherries on paper towels. Fold the cherries, almonds and chips into batter.
Spread mixture in a deep dish 9 inch pie plate that has been sprayed with Pam for Baking. Bake at 325 until a toothpick comes out clean--about 35-40 minutes. Cool. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, garnish with cherries and almond slices.
