If I have to pick one of my favorite healthy dessert made with raw cacao, it would be a raw brownie. And if you add this decadent ganache on top of it then it’s heaven. This raw brownie with ganache is the perfect recipe for those days when you just need a brownie !
And when I want to impress my friends with a healthy dessert, I always bring this delicious brownie. It’s a best seller, a success story and a hit !! People can not believe it is full of the good things and it is RAW.
So about this unbaked brownie with ganache or raw brownie, the recipe takes only 20 minutes to prepare and it is gluten free, dairy free, egg free, vegan and soy free. Yep!
This unbaked/raw brownie taste like a candy bar, so soft and chocolaty. It is insanely good and full of nutrients thanks to its ingredients.
Ganache or not?
The vegan chocolate ganache is delicious on top of this amazing brownie. But if you run out of time, you can make this raw brownie without ganache or replace the vegan ganache with melted chocolate (bain-marie or microwave) of your choice.
How to add superfood to your diet?
For topping, I like to add dried berries over the fresh ganache.
This brownie is already packed with raw cacao (a superfood itself) but to increase your daily intake of nutrients, it’s a great opportunity to add goji berry, dried mulberry, dried acai berry, etc… for topping too. It’s a great addition to your diet and it tastes very good with this raw brownie with ganache !
To avoid any lack of vitamins and minerals, I always take every opportunity to add superfood into my lifestyle (I hate to say diet).
Chocolate cravings?
And if you want more delicious recipes using raw cacao powder, try out my raw chocolate truffles or my chocolate chia cookies. Kids love them too !!
One more tempting recipe is my new way to cook a chocolate mousse (vegan chocolate mousse) !
Healthy raw brownie with ganache and…
Powerful, gooey, chocolaty and guilt free !
