Divine Raw CHOC Fudge Squares

These vegan, raw chocolate fudge bars are utterly divine and so easy to make. Inspired by a recipe created by one of our amazing CHOC followers on Instagram, the lovely Hannah @hanzipans. Her recipe looked so amazing, I just had to make them for #chocolatetuesday and bring them to the office. I used peanut butter as I didn’t have any almond butter, which I think would taste even more delicious, but it works perfectly with any nut butter.

Takes: 20 minutes

RAW CHOC CRUST

1/2 cup pecan nuts
1/4 cup cacao nibs
1/4 cup cashew nuts
1/2 cup desiccated coconut
3 tbsp CHOC Chick Raw Cacao Powder
1 tsp vanilla bean extract
2-3 tbsp agave, maple syrup or fruit syrup (add more or less to taste)

CHOC FUDGE INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup peanut butter / almond butter or other nut butter
30 g CHOC Chick Cacao butter
2 tbsp CHOC Chick Raw Cacao Powder
1-2 tbsp optional - agave, maple syrup or fruit syrup (to taste)

FIRST MAKE THE RAW CHOC CRUST

  1. Blitz all the ingredients together in a food processor. Leave chunky for a nice crunch.
  2. Line a small baking tray with grease proof paper and press the mix down with your fingers and level with a spatula.
  3. Place in the freezer while you prepare the fudge mix.


NOW FOR THE CHOC FUDGE

  1. Melt the peanut/almond butter together with the cacao butter in a bowl over a pan of water on a low heat.
  2. Mix in the cacao powder and sweeten if desired.
  3. Once blended well together, spread over the crust layer and place back in the freezer for around an hour until solid.


AND FINALLY THE RAW CHOC TOPPING

  1. We made our Simple Raw Chocolate Recipe (melting 25g cacao butter 2tbsp cacao powder and sweetened to taste).
  2. Take the CHOC fudge out of the freezer and drizzle the melted raw CHOC mix over liberally (get CHOC creative and swirl away!)
  3. Sprinkle over some cacao nibs, freeze dried raspberries or raspberry powder.
  4. Place back in the freezer and leave to set for around 40 minutes.
  5. Once set, cut into squares and enjoy straight from the freezer (it takes minutes to turn into a lovely fudgy consistency).
