For some, the notion of a raw brownie may seem absurd but I promise you these are magic! Just as delicious as the baked version, soft and gooey thanks to the dates and on top of that you know it’s healthy! A super quick dessert.
Enjoy!
Shopping list:
2 cups of walnuts
2.5 cups of soft dates, pitted
60g cacoa powder or if unavailable, unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp cacoa nibs plus more for sprinkling on top
Pinch of sea salt
In a food processor, process your walnuts until finely ground.
Now add your cacoa powder, salt and pulse to combine evenly.
Remove this mixture and set aside.
To the food processor, add your dates and process until you have finely chopped pieces. Now pour the walnuts/ cacoa mix back into the food processor and process until nicely blended with the dates. You want a soft almost dough like texture. If the mix is not holding together well then pop in some more dates and pulse.
Line a bread tin with baking paper and sprinkle some cacoa nibs over the base.
Press your brownie mixture evenly into the tin with a spatula. Sprinkle over some more nibs and some leftover walnuts.
Lift the baking paper out from the tin and cut your brownie and enjoy!
Even better if you have another five minutes spare to chill in the fridge.
