Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 2 cups medjool dates, tightly packed*
  • 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

Topping

  • 1/4 cup rainbow candy coated chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dish: Line a 9×9 square dish with parchment paper, leaving extra paper hanging over the edges to prevent sticking and make it easier to lift the brownies out later.
  2. Make the Brownie Base: In a food processor, combine almond flour, walnuts, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Pulse until the walnuts are finely crumbled to a flour-like texture. Add the pitted medjool dates and blend again until a sticky dough forms. Transfer this dough to the prepared dish and press firmly and evenly across the bottom.
  3. Prepare the Ganache: In a bowl, mix together the chocolate chips, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. In another bowl, scoop out the entire contents of the canned coconut cream (both solid cream and liquid). Microwave the coconut cream for 1 minute and 45 seconds, then whisk it to combine.
  4. Combine Ganache Ingredients: Pour 2/3 cup of the warm coconut cream over the chocolate chip mixture. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes so the chips soften, then whisk until smooth. If the chocolate chips are not fully melted, microwave for an additional 15-30 seconds and whisk again.
  5. Assemble the Brownies: Pour the smooth chocolate ganache over the pressed brownie base. Spread it evenly across the surface, tapping the dish lightly on the counter to smooth out the top. Sprinkle the rainbow candy coated chips evenly over the ganache.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the cosmic brownies for 4 hours or until the chocolate ganache is set firm.
  7. Serve: Lift the brownies out of the dish using the overhanging parchment paper. Slice into 16 squares and enjoy your no-bake vegan cosmic brownies!

Notes

  • Make sure to use pitted medjool dates for easy blending and natural sweetness.
  • Almond flour can be substituted with other nut flours if preferred.
  • If you cannot find canned coconut cream, refrigerate a can of full-fat coconut milk overnight and scoop the thick cream off the top.
  • Store these brownies in the refrigerator to keep the ganache set; they can last up to 5 days when refrigerated in an airtight container.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute walnuts and almond flour with seed-based flours and seeds.
  • The rainbow candy chips are optional but add a fun cosmic aesthetic to the brownies.
