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
- 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.
- Incorporate cocoa powder and salt into the date-tahini blend. Process thoroughly until all ingredients are seamlessly integrated and form a cohesive mixture.
- 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.
- 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.
- Place the pan in the freezer for approximately 30 minutes, allowing the mixture to solidify and become firm enough for cutting.
- 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.
- Melt dark chocolate using either a microwave in 15-second intervals or a double boiler, stirring until completely smooth and glossy.
- Carefully submerge each brownie square into the melted chocolate, ensuring total coverage on all surfaces. Use a fork to lift and drain excess chocolate.
- Place the chocolate-enrobed brownies on a parchment-lined chopping board or baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the brownies until the chocolate coating solidifies completely, approximately 10-15 minutes.
- Store the finished brownies in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
