150g firm tofu

DIRECTIONS
-
Line a 6-inch square tin with baking paper. A loose-bottomed tin makes it easier to remove the brownies.
-
Blend together all raw brownie ingredients together in a food processor. (You can use a blender but it is a little more tricky when it comes to removing the end product)
-
Press raw brownie mixture into your prepared tin, spread, and pack down evenly using the back of a spoon or your fingertips.
-
Place into the fridge to firm up while you make the topping.
-
Blend together all icing ingredients in your high-speed blender. This can be done in your food processor, but you won’t achieve the same super silky consistency. Trust me, it’s worth having to clean two different appliances!
-
Place into a bowl and put the frosting into the fridge alongside the brownies to firm up for a couple of hours or overnight.
-
Spread icing over brownies, remove from the tin, and slice into 6 hunky chunks. Sprinkle with some coconut flakes and cacao nibs if desired.
-
Store in the fridge for up to three days or freeze for up to one month; thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes to one hour depending on the climate, before serving from frozen.
