*This post is in partnership with LIVA Date Sugar
This recipe for Homemade Chocolate Brownies with Chocolate Whip really is the best because they are made with cacao powder and sweetened with LIVA Date Sugar. These brownies are decadent, extra fudgy and rich. You won’t believe how easy it is to make nutritious brownies from scratch.
These brownies have an intense chocolate flavour with subtle sweetness from the date sugar. LIVA Date Sugar is pure, organic and all-natural whole food sugar alternative to traditional sweeteners. The date sugar pairs so nicely with the cacao powder!
LIVA is a Canadian – family-owned, and operated business passionately dedicated to creating a product that tastes great and leaves the earth a little better along the way. The dates are ethically sourced from Algeria and Tunisia and then processed in California with minimal manipulation which yields a superior product.
I love that these brownies have benefits to them. LIVA Date Sugar is solar dried for two days and grinned into a powder, it retains most of the nutrition dates offer except Vitamin C. Its whole fruit sugar with nothing added or stripped, the biggest benefit is it has fibre and antioxidants properties.
Get creative in the kitchen and switch up these brownies to your liking! Frosted or unfrosted? With nuts or without nuts? Chocolate chips or no chips? Choose your brownie from the edge for a crispier texture or the middle for a softer texture. So many options.
One thing that I love about making brownies from scratch is the way they make the house smell with the decadent chocolaty aroma.

Chocolate Brownies with Chocolate Whip
Ingredients
Brownies
- 3/4 cup LIVA Date Sugar
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 1/2 cup ghee, coconut oil or organic butter melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 tbs. water
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Chocolate Whip
- 1 tbs. cacao powder
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk refrigerated for at least two hours
- 3 tbs. LIVA Date Sugar
- 1 tsp. coconut oil melted
Instructions
Brownie
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cacao powder, LIVA Date Sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Next, add in the melted ghee, eggs, vanilla and water. Mix until it is well combined.
- Lastly, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Line an 8-inch square brownie pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the lined pan and spread it out evenly.
- Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the centre. Remove from the oven and let cool. Once cooled, slice and then ice with frosting.
Chocolate Whip
- Open the can of coconut milk, pour out any of the water (you can save this for a smoothie later).
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cacao powder, coconut milk (fat only no water), LIVA Date Sugar, and coconut oil. Mix using a mixer for 2 minutes. You will notice it will begin to thicken and form peaks.
- Add a tablespoon to each of the brownies and enjoy!
Notes
- Please be sure to use Full fat coconut milk or coconut whip from a can. You can find BPA-free cans. If you use coconut milk from a carton or light coconut milk, the recipe will not work. Once you refrigerate the coconut milk, drain the liquid so you only have the thick fat left.Â
