3 layer CHOCOLATE Dessert - Nutella-Brownies & Cupcakes
So I decided to make two kinds of brownies, one that looks cute, the bundt cupcakes, and then the regular once, that are baked. It´s the same recipe, the only difference is how they are prepared.
Choose the version you prefer, I liked more the cupcakes version, as the weather is hot here in Austria, and I needed something to cool.
I have only used quite cheap products for the ingredients today. I wanted to create something that everyone can afford because I know some of you think cashew nuts are too expensive to buy, and therefore avoid making those kinds of no-bake recipes. So instead of cashew nuts, I used chickpeas and hazelnuts (use the nuts you like the most).
Recipe
Ingredients:
Nutella layer:
- 200 g roasted hazelnuts (10 minutes at 200-degree Celsius, peel of the loose skin when cooled)
- 1/2 cup plantbased milk
- 5 tbsp maple syrup (or coconut blossom nectar)
- 3 tbsp unsweetened cacao powder
- pinch vanilla
Method:
- Blend the nuts and cacao in a food processor or high-speed blender until you have a fine flour, then add the other ingredients and blend for some minutes until the batter is smooth. (The smoother the better!)
- Add one tbsp batter for each cupcake in a silicon mold.
- Note: (if you choose to make regular brownies, use the Nutella cream as a frosting on the brownie layer after baking.)
Brownie layer:
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas (not canned, make your own by soaking the chickpeas overnight, then cook for about 1 hour.)
- 125 g dates (pitted and chopped! If they are very dry, soak the dates for 1 hour before use.)
- 3 tbsp cacao powder (unsweetened or raw)
- 2 tbsp coconut butter or peanut butter
- 1/2 cup plantbased milk
- pinch vanilla
Method:
- Blend until smooth: same as for the Nutella layer above. Then add to the cupcakes, or press it out on a parchment paper for regular brownies.
- Baking: If you choose to bake the brownies, bake for 20-25 minutes at 180-degree Celsius. When they are cooled down, carefully spread the Nutella layer on the brownies. Cut into pieces and garnish as you wish. I loved them with fresh berries!
- Cupcakes: Let the cupcakes set in the freezer for some hours until frozen. Then pop them out of the molds.
- Cover with melted dark chocolate and garnish as you wish. (I would go for chopped nuts the next time! I made them little to pink this time, lol;))
- Enjoy! (And storage in the freezer.)
I wish you all a fantastic weekend and enjoy the time with your beloved ones!
Love, Niina
