Raw Chocolate Sauce:
Directions:
Brownies - Blend/ process medjool dates with water.
- Add in nuts and cacao powder, and blend everything together. For smooth/fudgy brownies, blend until there are no chunks. Otherwise, blend for too long to keep it chunky.

- Pour mixture into a baking dish, pat down with hands, and freeze for about 20 minutes. Make sauce while waiting.
