Birthday Fudge Brownie Video
I just luuuuuuve birthdays! I love Queen's Birthday for giving many a Public Holiday, I love Jesus's Birthday for giving everyone the festive spirit, I love my family and friends' birthdays for an excuse to celebrate and I especially love MY birthday!
Nothing much has changed since I was a kid in a way of looking forward to the day. Even now I actually begin to get excited a whole month ahead and welcome getting older with sincere joy, as though I am turning 5 again. And I never stop being overwhelmed by the birthday wishes I receive- thank you so much all my beautiful people, you don't know how much it means to me. Seriously though, take my word for it- I can hardly sleep the night before, so you really make my day!

This year I decided to brave up and finally stand infront of that camera for what is now my very First YouTube Recipe video. I watch and I cringe. But the Fudge Brownie recipe is so worth it! SO worth it, so here we go...

RAW VEGAN FUDGE BROWNIE
For the Chocolate Base
1 Cup Walnuts
1 Cup Pecan Nuts
1 Cup Dates (soaked in water first if too dry)
1/2 Cup Cacao Powder
For the Chocolate Icing
1/2 Cup Coconut Butter/oil (melted)
1/2 Cup Cacao Powder
2 Tbsp Agave (or to taste)
Pinch salt Optional: Raspberries
- Process the nuts to a fine powder in the food processer with an S Blade
- Add dates, one at a time
- Sprinkle over with all of the Cacao Powder and process again (note you may need to scrape the mixture with spatular off the sides so there is always something over the blade)
- Press the mixture well into a container lined with plastic film or a pie dish
- The best way to melt the coconut butter in in a Dehydrator for 30 minutes. If you need this done quickly, double boiler will be your perfect option- just no boiling water to keep the 'Raw' elements
- Add in the Cacao powder and stir in well
- Add Agave and salt and make sure all ingredients are well combined
- Pour the chocolate sauce on top of the pressed base and top with optional raspberries
- Freeze for 10 minutes or refrigerate for 30-60mins before cutting (don't forget to remove from the freezer)
And just another recipe that is so much... Better Raw
