fudge - Raw Nut Free Fudge

By tinathorn

This fudge keeps well for up to 5 days in the fridge (if you have leftovers). It also makes an excellent frosting for cake or cupcakes if used prior to chilling!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
• 1 organic avocado, peel & pit removed
• 1/2 cup organic Medjool dates, pits removed
• 2 teaspoons organic raw vanilla extract
• 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt

Preparation

Step 1

Place the avocado, dates, vanilla, and salt in the bowl of your food processor and blend until completely smooth – this takes quite a few minutes to achieve a perfectly smooth consistency, but hang in there – it’s worth it!
Once you’ve achieved a smooth, creamy mixture, add the cacao powder and process until you have a uniform mixture (this doesn’t take quite as long as the initial blending).
Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip (I used my cupcake frosting tip) and pipe in swirls onto a wax paper lined cookie sheet. (My swirls are approximately 1½ Tablespoons of the mixture).
Chill fudge for 45 minutes, or until a firm, fudge-like consistency.
