OHHhhhh YEAH! My favorite brownie recipe so far! Today, I gave my first Uncooking class and this was our dessert. It was a huge hit! We topped the decadent brownie with my Crazy Coconut Ice Cream, and drizzled with chocolate sauce and shredded coconut.I am back in the kitchen, making some incredible goodies! I gave my first food prep class yesterday, and it went great! We had Soothing Red Lentil Soup and Kelp Noodles With Creamy Avocado Pepper Sauce. We also had Spinach Cream Soup and Zippy Red Lentil Burgers. Yumm! But dessert was the BEST!

This sounds fantastic! Where do you teach your Uncooking classes? How did you get started doing that? How many people did you have attend the class?

I can teach a class pretty much anywhere. This was a small class consisting of two people. I hope to continue doing more of these, but because it's hands on, it's hard to do more than 4-5 at a time. It was pretty intense about 4.5 - 5 hours in length.
I got started by requests. Folks saw my blog and asked if I would consider doing classes. It requires a lot of preparation, but was a ton of fun!
Wow this is something amazing! I think I'll thry this recipe the next time, your brownies look very delicious! :)
Thanks, Solange. Let me know when you try it. I have made other brownies before. These were pretty special, rich, decadent!
