if you’re looking for a rich, ultra-fudgy treat that tastes like a decadent chocolate truffle—but made with wholesome ingredients and zero baking required—these no bake double chocolate brownie bars are your new obsession!!
they’re layered, chocolatey, and completely plant-based and gluten-free.
the best part? they’re made with Edward & Sons Native Forest Organic Simple Coconut Cream, which gives them the creamiest texture ever.

taste + texture
every bite is packed with deep chocolate flavor from cocoa powder and a silky melted chocolate topping.
the base is sweetened naturally with dates and has a rich, brownie-like chew thanks to almond butter, almond flour, and flax meal.
the filling is where the real magic happens: a luscious blend of almond butter, maple syrup, cocoa powder, and coconut cream that sets up beautifully in the fridge.
then it’s all topped with smooth melted chocolate for that final layer of indulgence.
the secret ingredient: native forest coconut cream
the real star here is native forest organic coconut cream from edward and sons.
it’s ultra creamy, blends seamlessly into the filling, and gives these bars their luxurious mouthfeel without any gums or weird additives.
if you want that melt-in-your-mouth texture in a plant-based dessert, this coconut cream is the one to use.
it’s organic, simple, and totally game-changing for no bake recipes like this.

how to make them
you’ll start by blending together almond flour, flax meal, almond butter, soft medjool dates, cocoa powder, vanilla paste, and a bit of coconut cream until a sticky dough forms.
press that into a lined pan for your base.
next, whisk up the filling with almond butter, maple syrup, cocoa powder, and native forest coconut cream until smooth and pourable. spread it over the base and chill until set.
finally, top it with melted unsweetened chocolate chips and a little coconut oil, then chill again until everything is firm and sliceable.
substitutions
- swap almond butter for peanut or sunflower seed butter if you need a peanut-free version
- you can use cashew butter in the filling for an even more mild, creamy flavor
- unsweetened chocolate chips keep things low sugar, but you can use any dairy-free chocolate you like
- use maple syrup or date syrup in the filling—both work well

storage
store these bars in the fridge for up to 1 week in an airtight container, or freeze them for longer. they’re best served cold or slightly chilled so the layers stay firm and fudgy.

Hi Mary,
You had me at truffle-level fudgy with no oven required! I love how you layered the flavors and textures especially the combination of the almond butter base and that silky cocoa-coconut filling. Using Edward & Sons coconut cream is such a great touch too it’s one of the few that actually gives that indulgent mouthfeel without any weird additives. I’m already imagining a mini version of these for my meal-prep snack stash,Might even try your peanut butter swap next round for a little twist. Thanks for always showing how plant-based can be both wholesome and seriously decadent.
