I teased you a while back with a picture of these right around Christmas time, and I fully intended to get you the recipe right away. But… I got distracted with these Flourless Chocolate Peanut Butter Muffins and then there was some Chocolate Fudge Skillet Cake. And somehow 10 weeks flew by, so you’ll have to accept my full apologies for making you wait so long! These brownies are definitely different than the usual, and for normal brownies be sure and check out my flourless Brownie recipe. But for anyone who loves brownies, I figure you can never have too many options. So this one is for when you don’t want to turn on the stove, or you need a really quick chocolate fix because they’re no-bake! Both the brownie base and the fudge frosting come together quickly in a food processor. And once you swirl that glossy fudgy frosting over your brownies, you’re going to take it over the top with a sprinkling of sea salt!
Another bonus with these no-bake brownies, are the base is made from dates which adds vitamins, minerals, and fiber to the mix while all you taste is a subtle caramel flavor lingering in the background.
You can process the brownie base/batter to be as chunky or smooth as you’d like. We both prefer a smoother brownie base with just small flecks of nuts as opposed to bigger crunchy pieces.
I was missing my usually 8″x8″ baking pan when I was photographing these, so I just spread the brownie base onto parchment paper, filling up about 1/3 of a cookie sheet.
I hope you’ll be enjoying these decadent healthier brownies soon, they’re too good not to share! They make the perfect laid back weekend baking project because they’re super easy, and there’s no actual baking involved! 5 from 8 reviews
