Ingredients:
No-Bake Brownies:
2½ cups walnuts
2½ cups pitted dates
½ cup cocoa or cacao powder
generous pinch of salt
1-2 tablespoons brewed coffee or water, just enough for mixture to hold together
ganache
optional toppings: crumbled freeze-dried raspberries, melted coconut butter (for drizzling), crushed nuts, hemp seeds, cacao nibs, mini chocolate chips, etc...
Ganache:
1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chopped or chips of (use dairy free if necessary)
½ cup canned coconut milk
(thick cream, if possible)
(thick cream, if possible)2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, more or less to taste
Directions:
Brownies:
Combine walnuts and dates in a food processor and blend until mixture is crumbly and no large pieces remain.
Add cocoa powder and pinch of salt, blending just until incorporated.
Add coffee/water 1 tablespoon at a time, adding just enough to make mixture hold together when pressed.
Line a 8x8 pan with parchment paper and press chocolate mixture evenly into the pan. You can use the flat bottom of a glass or measuring cup to press it firmly into the pan. Set aside.
Ganache:
In a double boiler or in a microwave safe bowl, combine together chocolate, coconut milk, and maple syrup. Stir continuously over boiling water until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Alternatively, you can place the heat-safe bowl into the microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until chocolate is melted and smooth.
Pour ganache over the top of the brownies in the pan and use an off-set spatula to spread across evenly.
Top with toppings of your choice or leave plain, cover, and place into the fridge for 25-30 minutes or until ganache is set.
Remove brownies from the pan using the parchment paper and slice. Serve at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in a cool room for 1-2 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
