Instructions
Step 1
Pre-heat the oven to 180c and line/grease a square baking tin.
Step 2
For the Strawberry Jam
Step 3
In a pan, place the strawberries and heat thoroughly for a few minutes until the strawberries start to get softer and a liquid forms.
Step 4
Once heated through, stir in the honey and lemon juice, and cook down for another 10-15 minutes before lowering the heat and simmering for another 10-15 minutes or until liquid has reduced further and the jam is a thick consistency.
Step 5
Remove from the heat and set aside.
Step 6
For the Brownies
Step 7
Place a bowl over a pan of hot water (ensure that the bowl isn't touching the water) and melt half of the dark chocolate.
Step 8
Add the coconut oil and cocoa powder and stir into the melted chocolate.
Step 9
Remove from the heat and add the honey/syrup and allow to cool.
Step 10
In a blender, place the avocado and blend until pureed. Add the eggs to the avocado and blend for a few seconds before adding the melted chocolate mix and blending until smooth.
Step 11
Add the flour, baking soda and salt and blend until all the mixture is combined well.
Step 12
Pour the mixture into the tin and place in the oven for approximately 20-25 minutes or until a knife placed down the middle of the brownies comes out clean.
Step 13
Remove the cake tin from the oven and leave to cool before removing the brownies from the tin.
Step 14
Melt the remaining chocolate as before and pour this over the brownies.
Step 15
Sprinkle on the chocolate chips, cut into even pieces and set aside.
Step 16
For the Whipped Cream
Step 17
Remove the tin from the fridge and discard/save any liquid. Scoop out the hardened milk and place in a bowl, adding the vanilla and honey/syrup/cocont sugar and whisk until fluffy and the consistency of whipped cream.
Step 18
For the Sundae
Step 19
Layer your chosen sundae glass with alternating layers of the jam, brownies and whipped cream, before topping off with some more brownies and fresh strawberries.
Step 20
Notes
Step 21
Break the chocolate into pieces to ensure that it melts easily.
Step 22
If you don't wish to wait so long to cook down the strawberries to make a jam, then, just as I did, you can allow them to cook down for just a few minutes so that the liquid still thickens and you are also left with big, juicy chunks of sweet strawberries.
