If you’re looking for a Fudgy Brownie recipe that’s gluten free, I have one for you that’s also no bake! Five ingredients is all it takes to whip up this pan of delectable fudgy goodness. These fudgy brownies are honestly as rich, dense, and tasty as a Little Debbie Cosmic Brownie.
A good food processor is necessary for making these brownies. Pulverizing dates takes a lot of chopping and the food processor will make quick work to ensure the dates are smooth and creamy.
Top these brownies with any chocolate frosting, including your favorite that meets dietary needs. I went with a standard butter and powdered sugar frosting, adding cocoa and vanilla and a touch of heavy cream to get the right consistency. The sugar-free option is also detailed in the recipe below. Store these brownies in the refrigerator to keep them fresh, especially if dairy is in your frosting.
