Oh my ... that's a really complicated recipe but they certainly do look good. I have many of the ingredients and am definitely tempted to have a go at a version of these ...
It's really not complicated at all. Just follow the directions one step at a time. Shaving the cacao butter and cacao paste and putting them over hot water to melt is not difficult, just takes a bit of time and patience. Cacao butter and cacao paste add a richness to the brownies that you will not get otherwise.
Let me know if you try them Antony!
Yum! We've added cacao butter to recipes before and it takes it to a whole new level.
EXACTLY Bitt!! Cacao butter and cacao paste add a richness and texture that coconut oil alone cannot offer.
I just made a fudge brownie sundae with some raw chocolate banana ice cream I had in the freezer. .YUM
I made these brownies this afternoon and they are LOVELY and DELICIOUS! I have finally found THE raw food brownie that is a keeper. Thanks so much for sharing. Always look forward to your recipes.
Thank you so much "Anonymous." It's always so nice to hear when someone tries one of my recipes and reports back. I'm so glad you enjoyed the recipe and it worked well for you. I keep mine in the freezer and eat them right out of there, without even defrosting..YUMMMMMMMM!!!
Hey, a year late, but wanted you to know this recipe is exceptional! Have made these countless times, but instead of making bars, I now use a cookie baller and one recipe produces about 60 one inch circles that are so fragrant as they "bake" in the excalibur. As runners, these are our go-to power bar. main variation I have done is to add pulp from our almond- hemp milk to up the protein "power". with the exception of die-hard SAD foodists, these are always a fave!
Thanks so much Country Sprout..I'm so glad you enjoy this recipe. I've tried many brownie recipes..and find these quite decadent..in a good way...i've also used the fruit baller to make them..it works quite well. Thanks for taking the time to comment..feedback is always appreciated. Blessings!
