Ingredients
BROWNIES
- 2 cups medjool dates, tightly packed
- 1 and 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE
- 2 cups raw cashews, soaked
- 1 can Native Forest Organic Classic Coconut Milk
- 1 cup strawberries, diced
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
STRAWBERRY TOPPING
- 1 cup strawberries, diced
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Leave some of the paper hanging over the edges.
- In a bowl, add the raw cashews. Pour hot water over the cashews. Soak for 30 minutes, then drain the water.
- In a food processor, add pitted medjool dates, almond flour, walnuts, cocoa powder, vanilla extract and salt. Blend until a crumbled, sticky dough is formed. You should be able to pinch the dough together with your fingers. If it is not sticky enough, add 1 tbsp maple syrup (or a few extra medjool dates) and blend again.
- Transfer brownie dough to the baking dish. Using clean hands or a silicone spatula, press the dough across the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
- In a food processor or blender, add soaked cashews, coconut milk, strawberries, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour strawberry cheesecake over the brownie dough. Add the diced strawberries on top.
- Chill brownies in the freezer for 4 hours (or overnight). Remove from the freezer and let thaw for 30 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
