Ingredients
Scale
Brownie
- 150g Hu Gems
- 1/2 cup (80g) coconut sugar
- 2 tbsp (10g) cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup (40g) almond flour
- 2 tbsp tapioca flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup (60g) non-dairy milk, warmed
Ice Cream
- 1 cup (120g) raw cashews, soaked at least 8 hours
- 3/4 cup (180g) full-fat coconut milk
- 1/4 cup (80g) maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Roasted Strawberries
- 1 pound strawberries, sliced stems removed
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- Melt the Hu Gems.
- Stir in coconut sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca flour, and baking soda.
- Add the melted chocolate mixture along with the warmed milk to the dry ingredients. Mix to form a thick but pourable batter.
- Transfer to a 8×8″ square baking dish lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350ºF.
- Arrange your sliced strawberries on a baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with coconut sugar and toss to coat.
- Roast for about 30 minutes at 350ºF until soft and very juicy.
- While all that is baking, blend the soaked and drained cashews with coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla until very smooth.
- Transfer to a bowl and place in the freezer to thicken, stirring every 10-15 minutes or so.
- Remove brownies from the pan (they should be very thin), and allow them to cool completely before slicing into two halves.
- Add roasted strawberries into the ice cream mixture (don’t add too much of the juice, it will make the ice cream icy).
- One the brownies are cool, line a loaf pan with plastic wrap and place one half of the brownie in the bottom. Top with swirly strawberry ice cream (it should be pretty thick, too watery and the top brownie will sink in) and the other brownie half.
- Freeze overnight, then slice and enjoy!
