Here’s what you’ll need to create these delicious cherry squares:
- 14 oz canned condensed milk: This sweet and creamy ingredient serves as the perfect base, binding the squares together while adding a rich flavor.
- 2 cups candied cherries (red, green, or mixed): These vibrant and sweet cherries bring a burst of color and flavor to the squares, making them visually appealing and delicious.
- 1 1/4 cups self-raising flour: The flour provides structure, ensuring the cherry squares bake into perfect, soft-textured bites.
- Optional: 1 tbsp powdered sugar: For an added touch of sweetness and a beautiful finish, consider dusting the squares with powdered sugar.
Instructions
Making these cherry squares is as easy as 1-2-3. Follow these simple steps:
- Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready to bake the squares to perfection.
- Prepare the Baking Pan: Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper. This will prevent sticking and make it easy to remove the squares once baked.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the condensed milk, candied cherries, and self-raising flour. Mix until the ingredients are well combined, forming a sticky batter.
- Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands to press it evenly into the corners, ensuring an even bake.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
- Cool and Cut: Allow the baked squares to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, cut into 24 squares for serving.
- Optional Finishing Touch: If desired, dust the squares with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
