Ingredients:

Makes 12-24 brownies, depends on how big your eyes are.

4 cups Medjool dates, seeds removed
1/2 cup dried peaches, diced (divided)
1/2 cup cold-pressed raw coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup raw cacao powder
1/4 cup raw honey
1/4 cup raw grounded flaxseeds
1 tsp vanilla extract
6 Ginger and Peach tea bags, contents of (open bags and use contents)
1/4 tsp Himalayan pinksalt
1 1/2 ” fresh ginger, grated (I used 1 tsp ground ginger)

Preparation:

Prepare an 8×8, straight-edged pan by lining it with plastic wrap to help prevent it from sticking to the pan. Set aside.
To make flax meal, add flax seeds to spice or coffee grinder and process to a powder.
Place all ingredients, except for 1/4 cup of dried peaches, into the food processor — process using the “S” blade until everything is well incorporated.
Remove the dough and place in a large bowl.
Add the remaining diced dried peaches and work the dough by hand. Then using the palm of your hand, make folding motions with the dough, so everything gets evenly distributed.
Press the dough into the pan, firm and evenly.
Put the fudge in the freezer and let it sit for a least an hour or overnight.
Slice into desired sized squares and EAT!
IF you have any leftovers, I recommend storing them in the fridge as they will soften a bit.
These freeze amazingly!
Garnish ideas; after cutting into squares, drizzle each one with honey, dice up some extra dried peaches or ginger and sprinkle over the top!
