My raw hazelnut fudge is a healthy option when you are craving something sweet. They have an unusual ingredient in that gives the fudge a sticky texture and sweet taste - dates. Dates are a natural super food which gives you lots of health benefits including, strengthening your bones. Dates have selenium, copper and magnesium in them, helping towards making your bones stronger as you get older. This means they should also help towards my arthritic sore joints and bones.
This fudge is really easy to make, hardly takes any time and of course, it is a perfect treat!
You will need:
1/2 Cup of Coconut Oil
One Tablespoon of Nut Butter
One Cup of Raw Cacao Powder
1/2 Cup of Dates (Pitted)
1/4 Cup of Hazelnuts
Salt
A Food Processor - Using the "S" tool.
Firstly soak the dates in a bowl of hot water for around 20 minutes. Or until they are soft and sticky, this makes them more pliable when in the food processor.
Melt the coconut oil and pour into the food processor, then add the dates.
Also add the raw cacao powder and mix on high until everything is combined and looks like a silky melted chocolate mixture.
Stir through the nut butter (I used hazelnut), so that it doesn't loose its crunch. This will add more texture to the fudge.
Pour the mixture into a flat dish or tin and spread evenly. Crush the hazelnuts and add to the top of the mixture, lightly pushing the hazelnut pieces in.
Sprinkle on some salt to add some saltiness to the fudge mixture.
Pop in the fridge for 30 minutes or into the freezer for 15 minutes.
Cut into whatever size pieces you would like, and then they are ready to eat.
Keep them in the fridge so that they don't melt!
Enjoy
