Spa it Girl has a delicious Raw Hazelnut Brownies – Gluten Free, Diary Free recipe especially for you thanks to Taline Gabrielian from Hippie Lane and the launch of her brand new Hippie Lane The Cookbook.
Chocolate and hazelnut: who can resist? These easy no-bake brownies are almost too good to be true. You don’t need a whole lot of time or ingredients to get these ones happening — but you may find it hard to resist the whole slab!
Ingredients
270 g (9½ oz/2 cups) hazelnuts
265 g (9½ oz/2½ cups) shredded coconut
85 g (3 oz/¾ cup) raw cacao powder
650 g (1 lb 7 oz/4 cups) almonds
⅛ teaspoon Himalayan salt
225 g (8 oz/1½ cups) medjool dates
250 ml (9 fl oz/1 cup) rice malt syrup
Ganache
450 g (1 lb/3 cups) chopped sugar-free dark chocolate
500 ml (17 fl oz/2 cups) coconut milk
How to Make It
Place the hazelnuts, coconut, cacao powder, almonds and salt in a food processor and process into small crumbs.
Add the dates and rice malt syrup and process until
the mixture is well combined and sticky.
Line a 24 cm (9½ inch) square cake tin, about 5 cm (2 inches) deep, with baking paper. Transfer half the brownie mixture to the tin and press down evenly.
Set the remaining brownie mixture aside.
To make the chocolate ganache, add the chocolate and coconut milk to a saucepan and stir over medium
heat until the chocolate has melted and thickened. Remove from the heat. Using a tablespoon, randomly dollop about 6 tablespoons of the ganache over the brownie base. Freeze for 10–20 minutes.
Remove the tin from the freezer and press the remaining brownie mixture evenly over the top. Pour the rest of the ganache over the brownie, spreading it evenly.
Freeze for 3–4 hours, or until set.
Remove from the freezer 30–40 minutes before serving. Cut into slices to serve. The brownies will keep in an airtight container in the freezer for 4–6 weeks.
Enjoy xoxo
