Triple Berry Raw Brownie Parfait

Makes: 4
What You Need
For the brownies:
1 cup walnuts (unsalted)
½ cup cocoa powder
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt
12 Medjool dates
¼ cup slivered almonds
For the sauce:
3 cups frozen mixed berries (1 pound)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
For the yogurt:
4 cups Greek yogurt
¼ cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla

What To Do
Remove the pits from the dates.
In the bowl of a food processor, place 1 cup walnuts. Process on high until the nuts are finely ground. Add ½ cup cocoa powder and ⅛ teaspoon kosher or sea salt. Pulse to combine.
Turn on the food processor. As the processor is running, add the dates one at a time. Once all the dates have been added, the mixture should be crumbly but easily formable. Add the almonds and pulse several times to combine.
In a small, square dish, press the dough into the desired thickness (press it into the desired shape, even if it does not fill the entire pan). Place in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up.
For the sauce, place 3 cups frozen berries, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, and 2 tablespoon maple syrup in a skillet over medium heat. Stir for several minutes until fruit is thawed. In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water, then pour into skillet and heat until the sauce is thickened.
For the yogurt, add ¼ cup maple syrup and 1 teaspoon vanilla to 4 cups Greek yogurt; stir to combine.
For the parfait, layer yogurt, crumbles of raw brownie, and berry sauce in a tall glass.
