Description
These no-bake chocolate covered brownies are rich, fudgy, and naturally sweetened with dates, finished with a smooth dark chocolate coating. A simple yet indulgent dessert made with just five ingredients.
Ingredients
200 g Medjool dates
120 ml tahini
5 tbsp cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
150 g dark chocolate
Instructions
- Add the Medjool dates and tahini to a food processor and blend until smooth and fully combined.
- Add the cocoa powder and salt, then blend again until evenly incorporated.
- Press the mixture into a loaf tin lined with baking paper (approximately 22 × 12 cm).
- Freeze for 30 minutes until firm.
- Remove from the tin and slice into 8 squares.
- Melt the dark chocolate until smooth.
- Dip each brownie square into the melted chocolate, coating completely.
- Place coated brownies on a tray lined with baking paper and refrigerate until the chocolate is set.
Notes
Add 1 tsp vanilla extract or a pinch of espresso powder for enhanced flavor.
Top with flaky sea salt before the chocolate sets for contrast.
Stir in chopped nuts for added texture.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
For longer storage, freeze with baking paper between layers and thaw in the fridge before serving.
Let sit at room temperature briefly before eating for a softer texture.
