  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

Brownie Base

  • 2 cups Medjool dates, tightly packed (pitted)
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1 cup raw walnuts
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder (or cacao powder)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Chocolate Ganache Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup canned coconut cream
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Decoration

  • 1/4 cup rainbow candy coated chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×9 square dish with parchment paper, leaving some paper hanging over the edges. This will prevent the brownies from sticking and make removal easier later.
  2. Make the Brownie Dough: In a food processor, combine almond flour, walnuts, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until the walnuts have a flour-like consistency. Add the pitted Medjool dates and blend again until a sticky dough forms. Transfer the dough to the lined dish and firmly press it into an even layer covering the bottom.
  3. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache: In a bowl, mix chocolate chips, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. In another bowl, scoop out both the thick cream and clear liquid from the canned coconut cream. Microwave the coconut cream for 1 minute 45 seconds, then whisk to combine. Pour 2/3 cup of the warmed coconut cream over the chocolate chip mixture. Let sit 1-2 minutes, then whisk until smooth. If some chips remain unmelted, microwave for an additional 15-30 seconds and whisk again.
  4. Assemble the Brownies: Pour the chocolate ganache over the brownie layer and spread it evenly. Tap the dish gently against the countertop to help smooth the surface. Sprinkle the rainbow candy coated chips evenly on top.
  5. Chill to Set: Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or until the chocolate ganache is fully set.
  6. Serve: Using the parchment paper overhang, gently lift the brownies out of the dish. Cut into 16 squares and enjoy your vegan cosmic brownies!

Notes

  • For best results, use ripe and soft Medjool dates for easier blending and better sweetness.
  • Make sure to use canned coconut cream, not coconut milk, for the ganache to achieve a rich texture.
  • If you prefer a less sweet topping, you can reduce the maple syrup in the ganache slightly.
  • The brownies need refrigeration to set properly and maintain their shape.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • You can substitute walnuts with pecans or almonds if preferred.
