5.3 oz of shredded coconut
1 tbsp of cocoa powder

Instructions

In the blender, add the following ingredients:
* peanuts (except for the ones for the topping, of course!)
* dates*
shredded
coconut* peanut
butter* cocoa

Blend until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
If it’s too stiff, add a little water to make it a bit softer.
Press the mixture into the baking dish lined with parchment paper.

Prepare the glaze:
* Melt the dark chocolate over low heat in a small saucepan
. * Add the
cream and whole peanuts. * Stir gently and remove from the heat.

Pour this mixture over the dough

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and remove from the pan just before serving.
Note: Personally, I prefer to cut this brownie into pieces right in the pan and then serve them on individual plates.

WHAT TO DRINK WITH THIS BROWNIE?

☕Hot drinks

Flavored black tea (Earl Grey, vanilla, chai spices) → tannins + aromas that balance the rich, sweet flavor.
Cocoa-spiced rooibos tea → caffeine-free, very smooth and harmonious with chocolate.
Mild drip coffee or mocha → mildly bitter, which complements the chocolate notes without overpowering them.
Plant-based hot chocolate (almond or oat milk) → for an ultra-indulgent pairing.

🥤 Cold drinks

Iced almond or oat milk → very smooth, highlights the dried fruits.
Banana-cocoa smoothie → double indulgence, creamy texture.
Flavored kombucha (red berries, citrus) → bubbles and acidity that lighten the palate.

🍷 Festive pairings

Natural sweet wine (Banyuls, Maury) → perfect with chocolate, but best reserved for rich desserts.
Sweet cider or perry → fresh and fruity, lightens the whole dish.
