This the 22nd episode of Ligia’s Kitchen, and let me just say this first: yum! 🙂

This Christmas, make super-tasty raw chocolate brownies with juicy, honey-dipped orange peels, glazed with thick, creamy chocolate syrup! It’s a decadent holiday dessert that’s perfect for Christmas or New Year’s!

The video is exactly 3 minutes long because we were challenged to edit a full recipe (that would normally take 7-10 minutes) to that length by Chow.com. It was a challenge issued to the YouTube Next Chef winners. We met the challenge dead on and walked away unscathed, albeit a bit dazed! 🙂 While the video fits within the 3-minute space, it would do much better as a 4-5 minute video.

Here’s the recipe!

Chocolate Glaze:

• 2 cups raw cocoa powder
• 2 cups water
• 3 tbsp cocoa butter
• 4 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp mesquite

Brownie Mixture:

• 4 cups flour from sunflower seeds
• 1/2 cup chocolate syrup
• 1 cup orange peels, diced and dipped in honey

Decoration:

• coconut flakes
• almond slivers
• golden raisins
• anise stars
• chocolate glaze
• pomegranate

Enjoy and thanks for watching!
