Why recepie famous for?

There raw brownies are impossibly fudgy and chocolatey! Made simply of walnuts, dates, and cocoa powder, they will rock your world. Nuts: And now, for something sweet! These raw brownies are a wholesome dessert made primarily of walnuts and almonds, with a few Medjool dates for some sweetness. If this is brain food, we’ll have another!

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups Medjool dates (about 12)*
1 cup walnuts (unsalted)
1/4 cup almonds (unsalted)
1/2 cup cocoa powder
Cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt

Instructions

Remove the pits from the dates. Chop the almonds.
Place the walnuts in the bowl of a food processor. Process on high until the nuts are finely ground.
Add the cocoa powder and kosher salt. Pulse to combine.
Turn on the food processor. As the processor is running, add the dates one at a time. Once all the dates have been added, the mixture should be crumbly but easily formable (it may form into a ball depending on how long you process it). Throw in the almonds and pulse a couple times to combine (if a ball has formed, you can also mix in the almonds in a bowl).
Form the brownies: Line a small square dish with wax paper and press into the desired thickness (don’t worry if it does not fill the entire pan; the brownies are easy to shape). Alternatively, press the brownies into a mini-muffin tin or other mold. Place in the refrigerator or freezer for 5 to 10 minutes to firm up; they can easily be cut when cold.
To serve, dust with cinnamon. (You also could add a bit of cinnamon to the brownie dough if desired.)
