RECIPE: almond butter fudge

It seems like every holiday season there is a plate of fudge waiting to be devoured. When I was in high school I felt like it was my calling to consume as much fudge as possible for fear that I wouldn’t see it again until the next holiday season.

Well, many stomach aches and lots of sugary headaches later, I finally gave up on fudge.

Until now.

I’ve seen this kind of recipe floating around Tumblr for years now with this same variation of ingredients .. usually it’s with peanut butter and usually it’s with honey. This recipe is so ubiquitous that I feel weird even posting it here .. but I also think it’s a bit cruel to post pictures without a recipe 🙂 
This is like a healthier, nuttier version of fudge. It’s not exactly what I was going for and so I’ll be playing with the fudge idea a bit more this year, but I thought I’d share it with you anyway because it was still a delicious treat. It’s like eating chocolatey almond butter squares that is a bit reminiscent of fudge. It’s quick, it’s easy, and the ingredients really aren’t all that unique so if you’ve been playing with raw food or raw desserts then you likely already have all these ingredients in your kitchen.
merry merry merry!

Almond Butter Fudge

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (not raw)

Instructions
  • Bring everything to room temperature to allow for easy mixing.
  • Put the wet ingredients into a bowl and mix.
  • Sift the cacao powder to remove clumps and mix into the wet ingredients.
  • Once everything is smooth, pour into a baking dish lined with plastic wrap.
  • Cover and place in the fridge for a few hours to harden.

YUM! Enjoy and let me know what you think 🙂

    Fudge was always a favorite of mine growing up, but I think I like raw fudge just as much–if not more! And it's so much easier to make too. This looks delicious!

    Thanks Kiersten! There are so many variations of raw fudge out there, and this (to me) seems to be a lighter version. I think I'll play with it a bit more to make a dense one like our childhood memories would want 🙂

    Thanks! It is a very interesting combo, you're right. It's a nice snack, I think, and is reminiscent of fudge, though a different texture.

    Thanks for stopping by!! 🙂

    Absolutely amazing… we added a drop of peppermint essential oil, and it turned out lip smacking good. Thanks for a great recipe!

    Love from one raw foodie to another 🙂

vegan sweetener guide

hey 👋

I'm Kiki. I am a pretty basic plant-based chick that does yoga and all the things. I try to have as little impact on this planet as I can and I share all the ways I do it here with plant-based vegan food, eco-friendly sustainable living, home gardening, and homemade all natural everything.

I truly believe that if we all do all of the 'little things' then it will add up to make a big difference. I'm so glad that you're here to join me in doing lots of little things.
