Raw Paleo Vegan Cherry Chocolate Brownies

I've been craving brownies something fierce lately, so I found this super easy recipe. All you need is a sturdy food processor, and about 5 minutes of actual time.

(adapted from Out To Lunch Creations)

1 1/2 c Dried Cherries
2 c Walnuts
1 c Cocoa Powder
1/4 c Dried Dates

Soak dried fruit in water to cover for an hour.
Put walnuts in food processor. Pulse until you have a mixture resembling cookie crumbs. Remove from processor and set aside.
Put dried fruit in processor, reserving soaking liquid. Process until a smooth paste forms.
Add in half of the cocoa powder until incorporated. Add in remaining cocoa powder. Add reserved liquid 1 T at a time if mixture becomes to thick.
Stir together walnut crumbs and fruit mixture, either in processor or by hand.
Press into an 8x8 pan or 8 inch pie crust.
Freeze 1-2 hours min.
Then cut into bars to serve, or roll into balls.

Yields: about 10 1 inch servings
