Now this is different. I got the original recipe from . The original recipe calls for 3 cups of powdered sugar which is a lot, so I have changed some of the ingredients to suit my tastes. I dropped the amount down to two cups of sugar instead. It should still work. Also since I live at 5,000 feet less sugar is better. These brownies are rich and dairy-free. You can also substitute 1/2 cup apple sauce for the margarine if you want this to be lower in fat. And if you want less carbs, you can also replace the sugars with a sugar substitute. Ingredients:
1 ripe avocado |
1/2 cup earth balance margarine |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup cocoa powder |
1 cup turbinado sugar |
1 cup date sugar |
1/3 cup chopped walnuts (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, melt the margarine over low heat.
2. Once the margarine is melted, puree the avocado in a food processor or blend until its totally smooth. Make sure no chunks remain.
3. Put the avocado, vanilla and coco into the saucepan. Then add the sugar a little at a time.
4. Once the sugar is all added the mixture should thicken up. Then add the nuts if using.
5. Transfer this to a loaf pan and refrigerate until firm.
6. It has to set up for quite a while other wise you won't be able to cut it into squares.
7. Bon Appetit!
