No-Bake Chocolate Raspberry Brownies

Jump to Recipe

These No-Bake Chocolate Raspberry Brownies will become your favourite raw dessert. These brownies are made up of three layers that go so beautifully together - the 'chocolatey' brownie base, the 'gorgeous' raspberry layer and to top it off a layer of raw chocolate. Also included are the Thermomix instructions.

INGREDIENTS

Fresh raspberries - you can also use frozen if you don't have fresh available
Walnuts
Cashews - you can also macadamias or blanched almonds
Medjool dates - important that you use medjool almonds to ensure that the base ingredients stick together.
Shredded coconut or you can use desiccated coconut
Coconut oil
Maple syrup or honey or brown rice syrup

Vanilla extract or vanilla paste
Sea salt

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1: The brownie base is first and is so easy to process in your food processor/high speed blender/thermomix.

STEP 2: Next you have the raspberry layer and is the easiest of layers to make. Throw everything in your food processor/high speed blender/thermomix and process. And then pour over the brownie base and place in the freezer to set for an hour.

STEP 3: Once your raspberry layer has set for a bit, you can then make the chocolate layer and then pour it over the top. Then you need to be patient and let it set completely, at least 5-6 hours or overnight if you can.

HOW TO MAKE USING YOUR THERMOMIX

To make the brownie base, add the walnuts to your thermomix bowl and process at speed 7 for 4 seconds. Then add the remaining base ingredients and process for 10 seconds at speed 7. Spoon mixture in a lined slice (or cake) tin and smooth over with the back of a spoon or spatula. Place in the freezer while you work on the next layer.
To make the raspberry layer, add all your raspberry layer ingredients to your thermomix bowl and process for 20 seconds on speed 7. Spoon the mixture on top of the base layer and smooth over with the back of a spoon or spatula. Place into the freezer to set for an hour.
To make the chocolate layer, first add the coconut oil to your thermomix bowl and heat for 1 minute at 90 degrees on speed 2. Then add the maple syrup and process for 3 seconds on speed 4. Then add the cacao powder and process for 10 seconds on speed 5. Pour (or spoon) the chocolate on top of the raspberry layer and make sure it is evenly spread. Place back in the freezer for 5-6 hours or overnight if possible.
When frozen completely, remove from the tin and slice straight away and store in an air tight container in the freezer.

STORAGE

I always keep my raw and no-bake slices in the freezer as one of the layers (usually the middle layer) tends to soften easily. In this case it is the raspberry layer, so I recommend keeping the slice in an airtight container in your freezer.

TOP TIP

To ensure that the chocolate layer does not crack when slicing, always make sure that the layers are completely frozen before you cut the slice. Also,use a very hot knife to cut the slice. I run a knife under hot water and then wipe with a tea towel before slicing. Repeat as necessary.

RECIPE FAQS

How should I store this slice?

This slice is best kept in an air tight container in your freezer. The raspberry layer will be too soft if you keep this slice stored in your refrigerator.

I don't have any fresh raspberries, can I use frozen raspberries instead?

Yes you can. Either works well!

What are the best dates to use to make the base?

I highly recommend using Medjool dates to make the base. Medjool dates are sticky so they really bind together all the ingredients really well.
If you use regular dates, you will most likely find that the mixture will not hold and you will need to use a little bit of coconut oil or nut butter to make the bliss balls.
