Raw vegan brownie with pistachio and goji berries

Ingredients

• 45 g Dried goji berries
• 70 g Pistachios, unsalted
• 75 g Almonds
• 150 g Dates, pitted
• 30 g Cocoa powder, unsweetened
• 1/8 tsp Sea salt

Method

1. Add the dates to the food processor and process until small bits remain.
2. Remove and set aside.
3. Place the almond and 90g pistachio in food processor and process until finely ground.
4. Add the cacao powder and sea salt and pulse to combine.
5. Drop small handfuls of the date pieces down into the food processor.
6. Process until a dough consistency is achieved, adding more dates if the mixture does not hold together when squeezed in your hand.
7. You may not use all the dates.
8. Add the brownie mixture to a small parchment lined 8x8 dish and before pressing, add remaining 50 g roughly pistacchio and goji berries and toss to combine and evenly distribute.
9. Then press down with hands until it is flat and firm.
10. Lift parchment paper to remove brownies from dish and use hands to slightly squeeze in the sides to create a smaller square - this will make the brownies slightly thicker and more dense.
11. Transfer back to dish and place in freezer or fridge to chill for 10-15 minutes before cutting into 12 portions.
