Kezia Hall recipe: No Bake Chocolate Brownies

1. Place the brazil nut and dates in food processor and blend for 1-2 minutes until broken down. Then add other ingredients and blend until a wet dough forms.

2. In a lined tray push the mixture into it and smooth out the top - don't worry if its rough you will be covering it with chocolate! Place in the freezer for 1/2 hours. Once set, put all the icing ingredient in a pan and put on a gentle heat until fully combined and melted.

3. Then plunge the pan in some cold water and stir briskly for 1 minute until you notice the mixture thicken. Then take the brownies out the freezer and pour the icing over and place in the fridge until set and you want to serve.

Notes - Don't let the nuts be processed for too long otherwise you will release too much of the  naturally present oils, making the recipe a bit too oily.I recommend cutting this into small squares and it will store in the freezer for a few months if you let it get that far!

If you are using cocoa you may need to add 1-2 scoop tbsp of coconut oil to make it a more solid dough, as cocoa is more absorbent then cacao. This applies to the icing and the base.
