How to Prepare Cherry Ripe Brownies [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Blend the macadamia nuts and dates in a food processor until you achieve a chunky texture.
Add coconut, cacao powder, and salt and blend again until combined.
Add avocado and vanilla, and blend on low until fully they're combined but still retaining some crunchy chunky texture from the nuts.
Finally, add the freeze dried cherries and pulse them gently to mix through until they are slightly crushed but still visible.
Press the mix into a lined tray, then sprinkle it with the additional cherries and desiccated coconut, pressing lightly so they set in.
Place the brownies in the freezer for one hour to set, then slice and serve.
