I realized that I have never posted a dessert Meatless Monday, so today’s recipe is just that! I have made this recipe multiple times since first finding it on Oh She Glows. Even my trainer (YES my trainer!) begs me to make these. Follow the recipe below for a raw chocolate and walnut fudge.
1/2 cup virgin coconut oil
1/4 cup raw almond butter (or nut butter of choice)
1/2 cup cocoa powder (or raw cacao powder)
1/2 cup pure maple syrup (or agave nectar)
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
pinch fine grain sea salt, to taste
3/4 cup raw walnuts, roughly chopped
With electric beaters, beat together the coconut oil and almond butter
Sift in the cocoa powder and beat again until combined
Pour in the maple syrup, vanilla, and salt and beat until smooth
Stir in the walnuts
Line a loaf pan with a piece of parchment paper
Scoop the chocolate mixture into the pan and spread out until even
I took another handful of walnuts, broke them up, and sprinkled over the top of the fudge for extra crunch and good looks
Freeze uncovered for about 1 hour, or until solid
Slice into small squares
You won’t even know that this fudge is raw or vegan!!! It is so yummy.
Stay hungry…
