No bake brownies…elevated to a whole new level of delicious richness by topping them off with a thick chocolate pudding?! I’m not really sure what to call it myself! I wanted to be a separate layer as opposed to just an icing, on a par with the filling of your favourite chocolate tart. So that is pretty much how I tackled it!
A combination of melted chocolate, in this case my favourite Cornish Sea Salt Seed and Bean! Now I wouldn’t usually melt down my favourite bar of chocolate. Let’s be real here, it’s hidden in the freezer for my consumption only but I figured I’d make something special, just this once off!
The base is my go to no bake brownie recipe from years gone by, and the topping is actually firm silken tofu and almond butter based owing to it’s set fudginess! No body needs a raw brownie that doesn’t slice with ease and hold it’s structure. We like sturdy and satisfying around here and the two usually go hand it hand!
I had some high praise for these…they actually withstand a lickle teeny heat in the microwave if you want a softer consistency, which for me is more dessert than snack like if that makes sense! Delightful then paired with your favourite dairy or non dairy ice cream…just a suggestion!

Store in the fridge for up 4 days in a seal tight container.
Notes
I didn't get to try freezing these so I'm not sure how the tofu topping will hold up. If you do try it please let me know in the comments below.
