115g (½ cup) unsalted butter
200g (1 cup) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
90g (¾ cup) all-purpose flour
¼ tsp salt
200g (1 ½ cups) pitted cherries (fresh or frozen)

For the topping:
250ml (1 cup) heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate shavings or curls, for garnish
Extra cherries, for decoration
Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper.
Melt butter and chocolate together until smooth. Let cool slightly.
Whisk in sugar, eggs, vanilla, and cherry liqueur (if using).
Fold in flour and salt until just combined.
Stir in cherries, then spread batter evenly in the dish.
Bake for 25–30 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still fudgy.
Let brownies cool completely.
Whip cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
Spread over cooled brownies and garnish with chocolate curls and cherries.
Slice into squares and serve chilled.
Tips
Use fresh cherries for a juicier flavor, or canned for convenience.
Refrigerate brownies for 1–2 hours before slicing for neat edges.
