Magical Ingredients:
1 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup raw cacao powder
1/4 cup coconut nectar (or sweeten to taste)
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup raw cacao nibs (optional)
2 tbs desiccated coconut
Pinch of salt
Optional: I also like to create variety by adding either 2 drops of peppermint essential oil, or 2 drops of wild orange essential oil to the mix.
What to do:
Place cashews, cacao powder, coconut nectar, coconut oil, vanilla extract, salt, and the desiccated coconut into a food processor and pulse until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the mixture into a medium size bowl and stir in the cacao nibs until they are well combined and evenly distributed.
Place a piece of waxed baking paper onto a flat plate. Spread the fudge evenly. I use some baking paper on top to flatten and shape the mixture into a rectangle shape.
Pop the tray into the freezer for about two hours. It will then become nice and hard. Remove and slice into rectangle or square shapes. You can sprinkle some more dried coconut over the top if you like, or some cacao nibs to garnish.
Keep in a container, refrigerated for up to two weeks.
Enjoy!
