Recipe Description
Earlier this month I was invited to a friend’s housewarming party, so I decided to make some incredibly decadent, rich, fudgy brownies to share with everyone. Things were going beautifully at first: I’d made a fabulous batter, sensational aromas wafted from the kitchen into the rest of the apartment; in under an hour, I’d be in chocolate heaven.
Grinning with pleasure at the thought of brownies soon to be covered with thick, dark chocolate fudge frosting, I reached into the oven with pot-holder-clad hands and began to pull out my masterpiece. Suddenly, and for no real reason, as both StuKitty and Hana were peacefully sunbathing in the bedroom, I lost my hold on the pan. Not wanting to get seriously burned, I just let it fall, thinking I’d only lose about a corner’s worth of brownies. It wouldn’t be a total loss, I thought, because I’d just be cutting everything up into smaller cubes anyway. No problem at all.
So down the pan fell, face down onto the oven rack, bouncing off the oven door, and finally, onto the floor, just inches away from my bare feet. Piping hot brownie pieces were everywhere – on the floor, in the blazing hot oven, on the fiery oven racks – everywhere but my pan. That thing was clean as a whistle (thanks, PAM for Baking!), and I wanted to cry.
Kitchen disasters. They happen to the best of us.

After a few cleansing cuss words and deep breaths, I regrouped and carefully salvaged what I could for myself. As I did so, a plan began to form. I knew I would still have to make something completely different for the party, but I had high hopes for my new culinary venture. Since I pride myself on being the queen of kitchen resourcefulness, I was not going to let this get me down. And so, the following dessert shot was born.
For those of you who don’t usually drop entire pans of brownies in your oven, this fabulous little recipe is actually a great way to make use of any normal leftover brownie pieces you may have. Since it would hold up better in the layering process, I decided to use my standard no-bake cheesecake base instead of whipped cream in my version of this classic dessert. I also used raspberries rather than the traditional cherries because that’s what I had on hand, but either fruit would be fabulous in this. As with all my dessert shots, this is a great way to enjoy a sweet treat after a nice meal without the extra guilt of a giant dessert. And because they’re so tiny, a few ingredients will go a long way, making it easy to serve several without spending a fortune.
Hooray for tasty, affordable, kitchen disasters!
