Description

Creamy chocolate brownies without baking offer delightful indulgence for chocolate enthusiasts. Minimal ingredients and simple preparation make these brownies a quick, irresistible treat perfect for satisfying sweet cravings.


Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Base:

  • 200 grams (7.05 ounces) Medjool dates
  • 120 milliliters (4.06 fluid ounces) tahini

Dry Ingredients:

  • 5 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Coating:

  • 150 grams (5.29 ounces) dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Prepare a food processor and add pitted Medjool dates and tahini (sesame paste). Pulse and blend until the mixture transforms into a uniform, creamy consistency.
  2. Incorporate cocoa powder and salt into the date-tahini blend. Process thoroughly until all ingredients are seamlessly integrated and form a cohesive mixture.
  3. Select a 8.5 x 4.7 inch (22 x 12 centimeters) loaf pan and line it completely with parchment paper, allowing slight overhang for easy removal.
  4. Transfer the brownie mixture into the prepared pan. Use a spatula or clean hands to distribute and compress the mixture evenly, creating a smooth, compact layer.
  5. Place the pan in the freezer for approximately 30 minutes, allowing the mixture to solidify and become firm enough for cutting.
  6. Remove the pan from the freezer and lift the mixture out using the parchment paper edges. Slice into 8 uniform squares or smaller bite-sized portions according to preference.
  7. Melt dark chocolate using either a microwave in 15-second intervals or a double boiler, stirring until completely smooth and glossy.
  8. Carefully submerge each brownie square into the melted chocolate, ensuring total coverage on all surfaces. Use a fork to lift and drain excess chocolate.
  9. Place the chocolate-enrobed brownies on a parchment-lined chopping board or baking sheet.
  10. Refrigerate the brownies until the chocolate coating solidifies completely, approximately 10-15 minutes.
  11. Store the finished brownies in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
