Course: Desserts and Sweets
Cuisine: dairy free, freezer friendly, gluten free, paleo, vegan, vegetarian
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 20 pieces, approximately

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pure cashew butter (no additives)
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup rice malt syrup or maple syrup (or other liquid sweetener)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 2 tbsp maca powder (optional)
  • 50 grams dark chocolate (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp extra fine sea salt for topping (optional)

Instructions

  • Take a small container or tray with raised edges (edges at least one inch high) and line with non-stick baking paper so that the paper comes over the sides. [I typically use a rectangular tupperware container about 22cm x 12cm.]
  • Place the cashew butter, coconut oil and rice malt syrup in a saucepan and gently melt together over a low heat, stirring until consistent. If using the maca powder, add this in now too, stirring until it's dissolved in
  • Remove from the heat and stir through the vanilla extract and the sea salt. Then pour the mixture into the lined container/tray and carefully place into the freezer to set.
  • Once hard, remove from the freezer and roughly chop and break up the fudge in to small pieces.
  • If you like, you can then melt down some dark chocolate and drizzle it over the top, and sprinkle over a little extra salt while the chocolate is still soft so it sticks on top of the fudge. (Set again by returning to the freezer).
  • Keep the fudge stored in a sealed container in the freezer. It will last for a few months.

Notes

*For a vegan-friendly fudge, use anything except for honey, e.g. rice malt syrup, maple syrup, coconut syrup, date syrup. If not vegan, honey can also be substituted. Out of all of the liquid sweeteners, rice malt syrup is the most mild in taste. Others will give you a sweeter result, so choose whichever suits your taste preferences.
