RAW Fudge Brownie


Ahhhh-mazing!! To think that this is raw?! I was first introduced to this type of slice at a friends baby shower, and to say the least, you couldn't remove me from the food table after my first taste! 

Serves 12 (or 1)

Base:
1 cup walnuts
1 cup almonds
1 cup soaked dates, pitted (make sure that the dates are very soft after sitting in the water for about an hour)
2 tsp vanilla extract
¼  cup carob powder
sea salt

  • Process walnuts and almonds in a food processor until roughly chopped.
  • Add the dates, vanilla, carob powder and sea salt.  Process again until combined. If the mix is a little dry, add a little water or orange juice (1-2 tablespoons) then process again.  The mix should come together when pressed with your fingers
  • Line a small rectangle tray with baking paper and press the brownie mix into it evenly. It should be between 1 - 1.5 cm thick.

Frosting:
½ cup macadamia nut butter / whizzed up macadamias and water to make up 1/2 a cup of paste
½ cup soaked dates
1 tsp vanilla extract 

Pinch of sea salt
  • Combine macadamia nut butter, dates, vanilla and sea salt. Process until combined. 
  • Spread the frosting evenly over the brownie.
  • Place in a fridge for at least 1 hour before serving as it's delish if cold.
ENJOY!!

Use hospitality one to another without grudging. As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

  1. Why do you live so far away from me?....... These sound DE-licious! Could I use something instead of macadamia as they are not a likeable nut?

  2. Yes they are delish! Awww shame we live so far away. I would do your cooking and you could do my cleaning? ;o)

    Cashews would be your best bet for the replacement.
