Sweet Brownie Swirl
The taste of chocolate with a hint of mint has always been one of my favorites. You either love it or you don’t, though… I will say that. But if you’re a fan, you’re probably just like me and can’t get enough. And with the lovely swirl as topping, it also looks great. Perfect for Christmas! ; )

Portion
1 tart (approx. 12 pieces)
Shelf life
2 days in the fridge in an airtight container / 3 months in the freezer
Supplies
food processor or blender
spring-form pan (20 cm/ 8 inch)
oven
wooden skewer
Ingredients
160 g (5.5 oz.) Medjoul dates
50 g (1.75 oz.) almonds
160 g (1 1/4 cups) whole grain flour of choice
a pinch of sea salt
50 g (1/2 cup) cacao powder
½ tsp vanilla powder (unsweetened)
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp apple cider vinegar
150 g (1/2 cup) applesauce (unsweetened)
250 ml (1 cup) almond milk, or other plant-based milk of choice
80 g (3 oz.) coconut oil, softened
ghee or coconut oil, for greasing
Topping
4 tbsp coconut cream
3 drops peppermint essential oil
1 tsp spirulina powder
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350 F). Meanwhile, chop the almonds. Add the remaining dry ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ones, including the dates in the food processors (or blender) and blend until a creamy mixture is formed.
Transfer the batter, together with the chopped almonds, into the greased springform pan. Place the pan in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool fully. In the meantime, make the frosting by combining the coconut cream and the peppermint essential oil. Let the frosting stiffen up in the fridge for about 10 minutes. Transfer the cooled cake to a large plate or platter and ice with the frosting. Sprinkle the iced cake with a bit of spirulina powder and use a wooden skewer to draw spirals in the frosting to create your swirls. Decorate the cake with some berries et voila!

I’m the business owner of JustCBD brand (justcbdstore.com) and am looking to develop my wholesale side of business. I really hope that anybody at targetdomain give me some advice 🙂 I considered that the best way to do this would be to reach out to vape shops and cbd retail stores. I was really hoping if anybody could recommend a reputable web site where I can get CBD Shops International Sales Leads I am presently examining creativebeartech.com, theeliquidboutique.co.uk and wowitloveithaveit.com. Unsure which one would be the very best choice and would appreciate any advice on this. Or would it be much simpler for me to scrape my own leads? Suggestions?
