Observations

* To store it, we recommend keeping it in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to eat it, microwave it for 10 seconds, or 20 seconds at most. This will melt the chocolate pieces inside.

* It’s a perfect recipe for people with lactose intolerance, as the brownie contains no butter (it’s replaced with avocado) and the frosting contains no cream (again, replaced with avocado).

* If you can’t find coconut oil, you can use sunflower oil instead.

* The chocolate should preferably be dark, although milk chocolate is fine too. However, it should be suitable for baking, as this will help it melt easily.
