No baking brownies

Here are very quick, possibly quite healthy brownies. No baking, no flour, no eggs. No beauty either, but boy what a taste!
Inspired by Minimalist baker recipe for a 5 minutes espresso and walnut brownies

Ingredients are measured in cups (1 cup = 250 ml glass)

No bake dates, apricots and nuts brownies

Ingredients: 
2 cups of mixed roasted and plain (no salt) nuts (pecans, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, almonds)
2 cups of Medjool dates pitted and dried apricots roughly chopped
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp instant coffee
pinch of salt
1/2 cup roughly chopped walnuts
2 tbsp date syrup
2 tsp whole cane sugar or brown sugar or muscovado sugar

Let's do it:
In a food processor blitz two cups of mixed nuts until powdery. Adds cocoa powder, pinch of salt and coffee and blitz again. Remove from the processor and set aside. Next blitz dates and apricots until pulpy little chunks. Remove and set aside. Put the dry mixture back to the food processor add sugar, date syrup and when blitzing keep adding a bit of dates/ apricots pulp. All should come together and remind a dough a bit dry though. Have a little baking tray with a baking parchment prepared. Using a spatula transfer all the mixture and even it up. Refrigerate before cutting. Yam!
