Raspberry Chia Jam Layer
• fresh raspberries
• maple syrup
• chia seeds
• optional: a splash of water

No‑Bake Brownie Layer
• almond flour
• cocoa powder
• almond butter
• maple syrup
• vanilla extract
• pinch of salt

Chocolate Coating
• vegan chocolate chips
• optional: coconut oil for smoother texture

Directions

Prepare Raspberry Chia Jam
In a small saucepan over medium‑low heat, cook the raspberries (and a splash of water if needed) until they soften and break down, about 5–7 minutes. Stir in maple syrup and chia seeds. Remove from heat and let sit to thicken.
Make the Brownie Base
In a bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Mix until you get a thick dough. Press the dough evenly into a silicone mold or a lined dish.
Layer the Jam
Spread the cooled raspberry chia jam over the brownie layer. Freeze for at least 1 hour, or until completely firm.
Melt Chocolate
In a microwave‑safe bowl, melt the vegan chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in short bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
Coat the Brownies
Remove frozen brownies from the mold. Dip or drizzle each piece with melted chocolate. You can top them with a fresh raspberry or a chocolate drizzle for decoration.
Set and Serve
Let the chocolate set at room temperature or in the fridge before serving. Enjoy chilled or slightly thawed.
