This coconut cherry treat has a brownie like moist feel to it and is lovely slices of coconut goodness with no baking either! The beauty of coconut for me is that it is a sweet treat...add some cherries and cocoa powder for a chocolate taste and I am purring like a warm, well fed kitten!
I made a truly decadent version of this with a chocolate ganach spread on top....this did not last long enough to take a picture of. An excuse to do it again I think! You could use other berries or nuts in this dish, have a play around with your favourite flavours!
