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.

Yes you can. I would drain any excess liquid though
