how to make 5-Ingredient No-bake Pistachio Brownies

Ingredients

220g Medjool Dates
150g pistachio butter
40g cocoa powder
Pinch of salt
100g pistachio butter (for topping)
2 scoops Bloom greens powder
100g dark chocolate (melted)

Directions

Add the dates to a food processor along with the pistachio butter and blend until you have an even mixture.
Add the cocoa powder and salt and blend again to combine.
Press the mixture into a cake tin lined with baking paper – I used a 22×12 cm loaf tin.
Mix the pistachio butter and greens powder in a bowl, then smooth over the brownies.
Freeze for a couple of hours or until the pistachio butter is solid.
Remove from the freezer and pour the melted chocolate on top.
Allow the chocolate to set for a few minutes; it will harden quite quickly since the pistachio butter is frozen.
As soon as the chocolate has set, slice into 10 squares and enjoy!
