I was telling my husband that I posted the yummy Chocolate Mint Candies and he said I had to let everyone know about His favorite Raw Dessert! It really is so good and super easy! Blissful!!

Raw Brownie Bites with Vanilla Icing

Vanilla Icing

• 2 cups Cashews
• 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1/4 cups Raw Agave
• 1/4-1/2 cups Water

Brownie Bites

• 3 cups Pecans
• 2 Tbsp Nut Butter (almond, cashew, etc.)
• 1/4 cups Raw Agave
• 1/4 cups Raw Cacao Powder
• Dash of Celtic Sea salt

First make the icing so it has time to set in the fridge while you make the brownie bites. Make sure to use a Food Processor and not a Vita-Mix, as much as I love my dear Vita-mix it is not for this dessert 🙂 Blend the cashews till they are a fine texture. Add in the vanilla, agave and 1/4 cup of water. It is best to keep the icing thick, so add in more water as you process but never more than 1/2 a cup. After the icing is well combines fill up a pastry bag or ziplock and set in the fridge.

Once you have the icing in the fridge you can begin on the yummy brownie bites. Blend the pecans in the food processor till they are a fine texture. Add the ut butter, agave, raw cacao powder and salt and process until the mixture forms a ball around the blades. Transfer to a bowl and make sure everything is combined with your hands. This is a really fun part if you want to include your kids. Now form little balls of dough and flatten them to make the brownie bite rounds. They should be no more than 1 1/2″ wide. Once you have all the bites formed take your icing out the fridge and top the bites. If you want to dress them up more you can add cocoa nibs, dried fruit bits or anything else in your imagination.

These can be eaten immediately or set in the fridge to firm up. They will stay great in the fridge for over a week. ENJOY!
