. Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake 30–35 minutes, until edges are golden brown and center is set (a toothpick should come out mostly clean).
Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack (~2 hours).
5. Make & Drizzle the Glaze
In a small bowl:
Whisk together sifted powdered sugar, vanilla, almond extract, and milk, starting with 2 tbsp.
Add more milk ½ tsp at a time until glaze is smooth and drizzling consistency.
Drizzle over cooled bars using a spoon or piping bag.
6. Slice & Serve
Use a sharp knife to cut into squares or rectangles. Wipe blade between cuts for clean edges.
Serve at room temperature.
You Must Know
Use full-fat ingredients —low-fat versions can dry out the texture.
Cool completely —this allows the filling to firm and bars to slice neatly.
Almond extract is essential —it enhances the cherry flavor beautifully.
Tastes better the next day! Flavors deepen overnight.
Freezer-friendly —wrap tightly and freeze up to 3 months.
Storage Tips
Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Freeze unglazed bars: Wrap tightly, thaw overnight, then glaze before serving.
Reheat individual slices in microwave (10–15 seconds) for warm, fudgy texture.
