  • Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • If you don't have time to make the homemade frosting, you can use a store-bought frosting instead.
  • Garnish the brownies with fresh cherries, chocolate shavings, or whipped cream before serving.
