Strawberry Mint Brownie Trifle

BROWNIES (adapted from Jennifer Cornbleet's recipe)
4 cups walnuts, unsoaked
16 medjool dates, unsoaked
1 cup carob powder
1/2 tsp sea salt and 5 sprigs fresh mint

COCONUT/CASHEW CREAM
2 cup coconut meat, from 2-3 young coconuts
2 cup cashews, soaked
1 cup coconut water and 1/2 tsp sea salt

STRAWBERRY TOPPING
1 1/2 lb strawberries, sliced
1 Tbs agave nectar
2-3 leaves fresh mint

FOR BROWNIES: Wash mint and leave on counter overnight to dry. Or put in dehydrator at 110° for 2 hours (or more). Chop 1 cup of the walnuts and set aside. Process remaining walnuts and salt until finely ground. Add dried mint (mint should crumble from sprigs) and dates and process until mixture sticks together. Add carob powder and water. Form mixture in two squares. Press reserved chopped walnuts into tops of brownies. Cut into 1-inch squares. Let chill in refrigerator for 2 hours.

FOR COCONUT CREAM: Blend ingredients until smooth and creamy. Set aside.


FOR STRAWBERRIES: Add agave nectar to the strawberries


TO ASSEMBLE: In bottom of trifle bowl, place brownie squares, top with coconut cream, then sliced strawberries. Repeat with remaining brownies, cream and strawberries. Put bowl in refrigerator to chill for 1 hour. Garnish with mint leaves.
