Ingredients

FOR THE BROWNIES:

240 g | 1 cup almond butter

240 g | 1 cup raw coconut oil

75 g | 1/4 cup raw maple syrup

160 g | 1 1/2 cups raw cacao powder, or cocoa powder

1/4 tsp flaked sea salt

60 g | 2/3 cup almond flour, or coconut flour

250 g | 1 1/2 cups whole almonds, chopped

175 g | 1 cup pitted Medjool date, roughly chopped

FOR THE FROSTING:

175 g | 1 cup dark chocolate, at least 70% cocoa solids, chopped

2 tbsp coconut cream

2 tbsp raw coconut oil

TO SERVE:

175 g | 1 cup whole almonds, chopped

150 g | 1 cup blueberries

150 g | 1 cup raspberries

9 mint sprigs

Method

1. For the brownies: Combine the almond butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, cacao powder, and salt in a food processor. Process until just combined, scraping down the sides as needed with a spatula. 
2. Add the almond flour and pulse several times until a ball of dough forms around the blades. Transfer it to a mixing bowl and add the almonds and dates, stirring with a wooden spoon to incorporate. 
3. Grease and line the base and sides of a 23 cm | 9" square cake or baking tin with greaseproof paper. 
4. Turn out the dough into the tin, patting it down flat with your hands or the back of a tablespoon. Cover and chill until firm, about 4 hours. 
5. For the frosting: Combine the chocolate, coconut cream, and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a half-filled saucepan of simmering water, stirring until melted and even. 
6. Remove the bowl from the heat and let the mixture cool and thicken, 15-30 minutes. 
7. To serve: Turn out the brownie and cut it into nine squares. Top with the frosting, spreading it over the squares; garnish with chopped almonds, berries, and mint sprigs.
