This Raw Berry and Chocolate Brownie Slice combines your favourites berries with a raw brownie base.
I have been working on this dessert for a few weeks now and have made a few different versions.
Originally, the chocolate layer was a lot thinner and there was more of the berry layer.
I think this version is much better and provides a good balance of the chocolate and the berries.
This slice is also gluten and refined sugar free and also vegan and paleo friendly.
Yield: Makes 20 - 24

Sounds really nice! I would love to try it out, but have two question. I would love to exchange the berries by frozen berries, as it’s winter time. Did you ever try it?
Can I exchange the coconut milk? Maybe with rice cream? My son is allergic to coconut.
Many thanks for your feedback!

Hi! Could you use thawed frozen berries for this? 🙂
Vanessa Vickery
Yes you can. I would drain any excess liquid though
