Ingredients
Scale
- 200 grams (7.05 oz) Medjool dates
- 120 milliliters (4.06 fl oz) tahini
- 5 tbsps cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 150 grams (5.29 oz) dark chocolate
Instructions
- Blend Base: In a food processor, pulverize Medjool dates and tahini until achieving a silky, uniform texture that resembles a smooth paste.
- Integrate Dry Components: Introduce cocoa powder and salt into the date-tahini mixture, processing until fully incorporated and forming a consistent chocolatey blend.
- Prepare Mold: Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, ensuring slight overhangs to facilitate effortless removal of the finished dessert.
- Form and Set Base Layer: Transfer the brownie mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula or hands to distribute evenly and compress into a compact, smooth surface. Freeze for 30 minutes to solidify.
- Slice and Segment: Extract the frozen mixture using parchment paper edges, then slice into 8 uniform squares or smaller bite-sized pieces as desired.
- Chocolate Coating: Melt dark chocolate via microwave or double boiler, stirring until achieving a glossy, smooth consistency. Immerse each brownie square completely, using a fork to drain excess chocolate.
- Finalize and Chill: Arrange chocolate-coated brownies on a parchment-lined surface and refrigerate until chocolate sets completely, approximately 10-15 minutes. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Chill Before Dipping: Freeze brownies for 30 minutes to ensure they’re firm and hold their shape during chocolate coating, preventing crumbling.
- Chocolate Melting Mastery: Use low, gentle heat when melting chocolate to avoid burning; stir constantly for smooth, glossy texture.
- Date Quality Matters: Select soft, moist Medjool dates for best binding and natural sweetness; older or dry dates can compromise brownie texture.
- Storage Smart: Keep brownies in a sealed container to maintain freshness; refrigeration extends shelf life and provides a delightful chilled texture.
