What type of chocolate is best for the brownie base?

The recipe calls for 1 cup of bittersweet or semi-sweet vegan chocolate, which is melted with hot brewed coffee and cocoa powder to create a rich base.

The caramel is made by combining palm sugar paste and coconut milk in a saucepan, boiling it, then reducing it to about half its original volume until thick and luscious.

What ingredients are used to make the peanut butter nougat?

The peanut butter nougat is created by mixing creamy peanut butter with your choice of coconut flour, almond flour, or graham cracker crumbs, and agave for sweetness.

How do I know when the brownies are fully baked?

Bake the brownies in a preheated 350 degreesF oven for approximately 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.

Why is brewed coffee included in the brownie recipe?
