Delicious Raw Chocolate & Berry Brownies sweetened with coconut nectar honey and cacao.

Ingredients
(makes for 6)
Brownies
1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup almonds
1 cup dates
2 tbsp natural sweetener
(coconut nectar honey)
3 tbsp cacao powder
2 tbsp macadamia butter
Pinch of sea salt
Berry cheesecake
1/2 cup cashews
6 tbsp coconut milk (canned)
2 tbsp natural sweetener
(coconut nectar honey)
1 tbsp coconut oil
1/2 cup raspberries
2 tsp freeze dried berry powder- I used
Arctic power berries blackcurrant powder

How to make it
Place the almonds and oats into a food processor and blend until they form a rough flour. Add in the remaining brownie ingredients and blend again until everything begins to stick together.
Take the brownie mix and press into the base of a tin to create a flat surface and leave these in the freezer to set whilst you prepare the cheesecake layer. Add the cashews, coconut milk, sweetener, coconut oil, berries and powder into a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth and creamy. Pour this over the top of the brownie base and return these to the freezer for around 2 hours. Slice the brownies into pieces and garnish with some sliced strawberry and a drizzle of melted raw chocolate.
