Raw Brownies….also vegan!

I had to finally try these brownies. I mean really…..you all must know by now my favorite dessert of all time is brownies. Normally, if they have no walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts or peanuts in them they usually don’t “do it” for me. While these have walnuts as the substitute flour base, you can’t really taste the walnuts as the cocoa overpowers it. But the almonds on top are a nice touch!

That being said, this was one brownie that went awesome with a big splash of coffee ice cream on top and a cappuccino! If the raw food movement is your “thing” then you must make these brownies.

Here’s all you do:

Raw Brownies

Ingredients: (8×6 inch cake pan)

– 2 and 1/2 cups dates, pitted
– 1 cup raw cocoa
– 2 cups walnut
– 1/2 cup almonds, chopped roughly
– 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method

Place walnut into the food processor and blend until the nuts are finely ground. Add cocoa, salt and blend again for 1-2 minutes. Slowly add dates while the processor is running. Work until the “dough” or mixture easily sticks together (if it doesn’t add 1-2 dates).

Press the “dough” into the lined cake pan, sprinkle the top with almond (press almond pieces into the “dough”). Place in the freezer for 20-30 minutes or in the fridge for 2-3 hours.

Bon Appétit!
