Raw Iced Avocado Brownies
I learned to make this while working at a fancy shmancy retreat center in Los Angeles. The guests went crazy for them! The best part is, they couldn’t be easier. I turn to these whenever I want a decadent chocolate treat (which is often) but I can’t be bothered to turn my oven on.
Ingredients:
Brownie base
1 cup cashews
1 cup pitted dates
⅓ cup raw cacao powder
Pinch of sea salt
Icing
1 avocado
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon coconut oil
3 tablespoons cacao powder
2 teaspoons vanilla
Pinch of sea salt
Pinch of cinnamon
Directions:
Combine brownie base ingredients in a food processor and blend until mixture resembles dirt. Press into an 8x8 pan. Rinse and wipe out food processor.
Combine icing ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.
Spread icing over the brownie base and place in freezer for 1 hour.
Cut into squares and enjoy! Store leftover brownies in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
