Raw Fudge

by Angela Liddon

Ingredients

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 other liquid sweetener)
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
pinch fine grain sea salt, to taste
3/4 cup raw walnuts, roughly chopped

Instructions

1. With electric beaters, beat together the coconut oil and almond butter.
2. Sift in the cocoa powder and beat again until combined.
3. Pour in the maple syrup, vanilla, and salt and beat until smooth.
4. Stir in the walnuts.
5. 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.
6. Freeze for about 1 hour, or until solid. Slice into small squares and prepare to be seduced.

Note: I added a tablespoon of raw cacao nibs into my batch, but next time I will leave them out as I thought they were a tad crunchy in this fudge.
