Description
These no-bake chocolate-covered brownies are a simple, indulgent treat made with just five ingredients! Perfect for when you want a quick, chocolatey dessert without turning on the oven. They’re rich, fudgy, and topped with a smooth chocolate coating.
Ingredients
- Prepare the Brownie Base:
- Add the almond flour, pitted dates, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract to a food processor.
- Process until the mixture forms a sticky dough. If it’s too dry, add 1-2 teaspoons of water and pulse again.
- Shape the Brownies:
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper. Press the dough firmly into the pan, creating an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.
- Make the Chocolate Coating:
- Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring until smooth, or use a double boiler.
- Coat the Brownies:
- Pour the melted chocolate over the chilled brownie base, spreading it evenly. Return to the refrigerator until the chocolate sets (about 20 minutes).
- Cut and Serve:
- Remove the brownies from the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes
- You can substitute almond flour with oat flour or finely ground walnuts.
- Medjool dates can be swapped for regular dates, but soak them in warm water for 10 minutes if they’re too dry.
- For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed flour instead of almond flour.
