date & carob frozen fudge
 
Prep time
Total time
 
Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • 1 cup figs (or pitted dates like I used)
  • 1½ cups water
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla
  • ½ to 1 cup almond butter or sunflower butter (I used almond)
  • ½ to 1 cup raw carob powder (or you could use cocoa for a more chocolaty fudge)
  • ½ cup hempseeds
Instructions
  1. Place the figs in a bowl, cover with water, and soak for about an hour until soft. Drain, and reserve the liquid.
  2. In a blender or food processor mix the figs and vanilla until smooth, slowly adding the reserved water as needed to form a creamy consistency.
  3. Transfer the fig mixture to a large bowl and add in the almond butter, and stir to combine.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the carob powder and hempseeds.
  5. Gradually add the dry carob mixture to the wet fig mixture, and stir well.
  6. Press or smooth evenly into an 8x8 baking pan and freeze until firm (about 3 hours).
  7. To serve cut into 1 inch squares.
