Scrumptious Healthy Chocolate Fudge

Time for something sweet again! My good friend Suzie, a quietly passionate vegan property investor and author from You Can gave me this recipe for healthy chocolate fudge recently. I haven’t made it yet but my mouth’s watering just thinking about it! And, as she so eloquently put it, the more people who know about it, the happier the world will be! (I just love that thought – that each of us has an impact on the amount of peace and health in the world just by choosing what we eat each day…)

The Fudge

• 1 1/2 cups walnuts ground
• 10 – 12 California dates (the big juicy ones) or 15 – 20 Iranian dates
• 1/3 cup organic powdered cacao
• 1/2 tbsp water or enough to reach a thick, fudge like texture

The Sauce

• 1 cup raspberries – fresh is always best of course but frozen are pretty darn good too
• 1/4 cup dates (pre-soak in water for a couple of minutes)

The Method

1. Mix together in a big bowl with a wooden spoon, all the base ingredients. Spoon this mixture into a 12 x 8 inch dish in the fridge fridge to set for a couple of hours.
2. Mix together the raspberries and soaked dates for the sauce. You can blend this with a hand blender if you want a smoother consistency but big and chunky is good too!
3. Cut the fudge into small square and serve with the sauce drizled over top or as a dipping sauce for the fudge.

Divine yum!
