ALMOND BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE FUDGE
Serves 4 – 6
- 2 Cups of organic almond butter
- 1⁄2 Cup of raw cacao powder
- 2 Tablespoons raw cacao nibs
- 1⁄2 Cup of maple syrup
- 1 Tablespoon coconut oil softened
- 2 Teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 Teaspoon sea salt
Step 1: Spoon the almond butter into a large bowl.
Step 2: Add in the cacao powder by running through a sieve.
Step 3: Add in the softened coconut butter and maple syrup.
Step 4: Mix in the vanilla extract, cacao nibs and salt.
Step 5: Keep stirring the mixture until it’s all well combined and smooth.
Step 6: Pour the mixture into a cake tin lined with grease proof paper and pop into the fridge to set hard for 2 to 3 hours.
Step 7: When you’re ready to serve, remove the fudge from the fridge and leave to stand for 10 minutes before cutting. For the best results, leave a sharp knife standing in a jug of hot water for a couple of minutes before you slice the fudge.
TIP: You can make the fudge now, freeze, and get it back out at Christmas time. Once defrosted, the fudge will keep in the refrigerator for over a week (if it lasts that long!)
