the holidays are upon us, temptations abound. we all like desserts and during the holiday season with all variety of parties happening, desserts we many not encounter during the year come out to entice us. a friend makes a fabulous chocolate mousse for an annual holiday brunch. i never eat chocolate mousse except for his because it is so perfect and just once a year-how bad is that? but then there is that home made cheesecake, great looking cookies, those biscotti that everyone says you must try.......
this year, being gluten free, i want some treats that are GF and not loaded with sugar so i will make some myself that i can enjoy and that i can share with others. i will feel better and will not feel like i have to desert dessert during the holidays.
this may not be everyone's idea of a dessert and i don't know who gets credit for the recipe but it is fast, easy, no bake, vegan and GF. i put all the ingredients into a food processor, blend, place the mixture into a shallow glass pan, press the mixture into an even layer and chill for 30 minutes. cut into squares and enjoy. if the mixture seems a little dry (dates vary in moisture) add a little water, coconut milk or coconut oil.
raw, hemp brownies
1 1/2 cup pitted dates
1 1/2 cup nuts
6 tbsp cacao powder
4-5 tbsp hemp protein powder
6 tbsp shredded coconut-unsweetened
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
4 tbsp maple syrup or liquid sweetener of your choice
