No-Bake Coconut Brownies (Vegan)
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Featuring a date-and-nut layer on the bottom, chewy coconut in the middle and creamy ganache on top, these easy no-bake coconut brownies taste like a better-for-you version of a chocolate-coconut candy bar. Relying on coconut cream and the natural sweetness of dates (plus a hint of agave) these triple-layer brownies are gluten free, dairy free and vegan. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt for a salty-sweet contrast.
