Notes
Tips:
*To make coconut solids, place a can of full fat coconut milk in fridge overnight. Scoop out coconut milk solids that have risen to the top (keep liquid for another use such as smoothies/ curries).You can make this into brownies with a choc mint icing by using a mint chocolate bar.

I absolutely love these brownies! A healthier alternative to chocolate. I just wish macadamias weren’t so pricey! Thankyou for the fab recipe.
Thank you Rebecca! I’m glad you enjoy the recipe too! Feel free to sub in any other nuts 🙂
