good but a little difficultThis is a great recipe, but a bit scary for the novice baker. Perhaps would be easier to use a fruit that doesn't need the seeds strained.

Just as good as it looksThis is an AWESOME low-sugar brownie recipe. I didn't alter the recipe at all. I tried a few no-sugar brownie recipes before it, but they weren't working for me. I've been employed as a beverage formulator for six years using alternative sweeteners and nothing beats the real thing. BUT, you can reduce the amount and as long as you have a little sugar, you can go the rest of the way with alternative sweeteners and get a similar result. (The baking blend of Truvia has sugar in it whereas the non-baking blend for tea and coffee does not.)
I do need to add a few things. When I made it last night, the top looked a little wet when the time was up (15 minutes), but it WAS done. Within 10 seconds of taking it out of the oven, the wetness dried up/went into the brownie. Also, it was good last night but the stevia had a somewhat funky aftertaste. However, by this morning all the flavors had had time to marry together and it was AMAZING. (My husband put both the brownies and the raspberry sauce in the fridge, so I don't know if that had something to do with it.)
Anyway, you should try it. I'm a foodie and I would not give a recipe a good review if I didn't absolutely love it.
