🍴 Ingredients (Makes 6–8 Small Squares)
- 10 soft dates (or soaked in warm water for 30 minutes)
- ½ cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (only if needed for blending)
- 30–50 g refined sugar-free or dark chocolate (for topping)
👩🍳 How to Make It
- Soak the Dates:
If your dates aren’t soft, soak them in warm water for about 30 minutes. This not only softens them but also makes peeling easier. Remove the pits. - Blend the Base:
Add the pitted dates, tahini, and cocoa powder to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth.
If the mixture is too thick to blend, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk, just enough to help it come together. - Press Into a Pan:
Line a small container or dish with parchment paper. Press the mixture evenly into the base using the back of a spoon or your hands. - Chill:
Place the brownie base in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up. - Add the Chocolate Topping:
Melt your chocolate using a double boiler (bain-marie) method. Once melted, pour over the chilled brownie base and spread evenly. - Set the Chocolate:
Pop the pan into the freezer for about 5 minutes, just until the chocolate sets.
Slice, serve, and enjoy every fudgy, nutty, naturally sweet bite! 🍫🌰
