        Method

        Process the brownie ingredients until blended and dry chunky. Press into a small pan.
        Put all icing ingredients into blender, and blend on high till smooth. [I put ingredients in large bowl and blended with stab mixer]
        Spread icing over brownie and pop in freezer to set for 1 hour.

        Do you melt the coconut oil before blending, Charlotte?
