Strawberry Brownies

Place the almonds into your Vitamix wet container.

Turn the dial to speed 10 and pulse the machine on and off 6 times until you have rough flour forming.

Add the dates, cacao powder and vanilla and turn machine onto HIGH speed and use your tamper really well to push the ingredients down to the blade. Process until a nice pliable dough forms.

Add the melted cacao paste and process on HIGH speed using your tamper effectively to incorporate.

Press the dough into a lined pan making sure that it is evenly spread.

Place in the fridge to set for 1 hour.

Put all the ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed for Strawberry Cream and secure the lid.

Select speed 1, turn the machine on and quickly increase to high speed.

Use tamper effectively to press the ingredients into the blades.

Blend until smooth and pour the strawberry cream over the brownie base.

Set in the freezer for about 3 hours.

Sift the cacao powder into a bowl and add all the remaining ingredients and whisk to combine.

The mixture should be really smooth.

If not, set it over a bowl of boiling water while whisking.

Drizzle over your brownie and garnish with whatever you feel.
