Trim the tramp. I gotta trim the tramp. Manscaper, or ladiescaper. I gotta manscape my tramp
Happy holidays! Hey guys, I'm Abby Sharp. Welcome to Abby's Kitchen. The holidays are legit around
the corner, and things are getting a little bit cray-cray. Honestly, I love this time of year
but what I don't love is the laundry list of chores that I'm somehow having to get through
in the next few weeks. I have to trim the tree. I have to get up on the damn roof and put the lights out
I've got to fight somebody off at the mall just to get the last American girl. It's nuts
And don't even get me started on all the crazy bake sales
and cookie exchanges and potlucks that I've signed my salt pot for. So when things start to get a little bit hectic
my go-to dessert are these amazing peppermint brownies. They are vegan, they're gluten-free
and they're no-bake, so they are a total cinch to pull off when you have absolutely no more time
So let's do this. First, let's make some brownies. To a food processor, I add some pitted and diced medjool dates
and process them until they start to break down. Then I add in some almond flour, some cocoa powder
some vanilla extract, some melted coconut oil, and a pinch of salt
and I puree that all together until it's nice and smooth. Then I transfer that mixture to a bowl and I add in a lot of crushed candy canes
because it is the holidays after all and I give it a good stir to mix everything throughout
Then to an 8 inch square baking dish I line it with some parchment paper and then firmly press the mixture into the baking dish
Pop it into the fridge for about 15 to 20 minutes and let's get making ganache
I bring some coconut milk to a quick little boil and then pour it over some dairy-free dark chocolate
Give it a good stir to let all that chocolate melt and then add in a splash of some peppermint extract. Now it's time to decorate. I take
my brownies out of the fridge and pour the ganache all over the top
Sprinkle it with some more crushed candy canes as well as some red and green chocolate candies
and then pop them back in the fridge for about an hour to set up. After an hour it's really easy
to remove them from the baking dish using the wings of your parchment paper. Then using a wet
and warm knife you can slice them into squares. Well guys, there you go, I checked one big thing off your holiday to-do list
Can't help you with the American Girl, but good luck with that one. I hope you enjoyed this recipe
