This is absolutely divine. The consistency of the brownie is so smooth, it's like biting into soft chocolate. Combined with the rich, satisfying icing... you're welcome chocolate lovers!
Weigh, peel and chop up the kumara then cook in a steamer until soft.
Preheat oven to 160°C fan bake.
While waiting, add all the other brownie ingredients to your food processor.
Once the kumara is cooked add it to the food processor and blend everything. May need to scrape down the sides.
Pour the batter into a baking dish lined with baking paper (mine is 26cm x 18cm, I wouldn't go bigger than that) and bake for 30 minutes. It might rise up oddly when it's baking but don't worry it will flatten down again.
Remove from baking dish and paper and allow to cool on rack.
Icing
You can just sprinkle with coconut prior to cooking if you like – or, the more decadent option! Once brownie is cooled, make the icing.
In a small bowl, add the avocado, cacao and maple. You can mash together or use a stick whizz for a faster job. If too thick (depending on the size of your avocado) add a little water or nut milk until desired consistency. Spread thickly over brownie then slice.
