This past week has seen several days of drop dead gorgeous weather in our parts. It was scorching hot on Wednesday and Thursday and so I’ve lost interest in cooking. And although it was raining all day today – this recipe is in keeping with my hot weather mood – it’s a tray of no bake brownies studded with juicy and tart raspberries. This is a great dessert for hot weather as it is delicious and pleasantly cooling eaten straight out of the freezer (or fridge) and it’s seriously easy and quick to make.
While it is certainly not healthy per se, it is healthier than traditional brownies / fudge as it is partly based on a sweet potato – an ingredient I do like to incorporate into desserts sometimes (like in these muffins or this mousse). It really works a treat and adds no nasty aftertaste, which some alternative ingredients tend to add. I’m thinking of you, avocado! We’ve enjoyed this dessert a lot and I hope you’ll too.
