Brazil Nut, Orange & Chocolate Fudge Cups Prep time: 40 mins Total time: 40 mins Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • 1 cup raw brazil nuts + 12 brazil nuts for garnish
  • 1 cup pitted medjool dates
  • ¼ cup rolled oats (gluten free if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest + 1 tablespoon orange zest for garnish
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • ¼ cup raw honey or pure maple syrup for vegan
  • ¼ cup natural almond butter
  • ¼ cup raw cocoa powder
Instructions
  1. In a food processor combine the 1 cup brazil nuts, pitted dates, oats, water, and 1 tablespoon orange zest.
  2. Process until well combined - the mixture will be sticky.
  3. Press 1 heaping tablespoon of mixture into each cup in a 12-tin muffin pan.
  4. The mixture, once pressed, will fill the cup about ⅓ of the way.
  5. Place the pan in the freezer.
  6. Now, heat a medium sized saucepan over low heat. Add in coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), almond butter and stir until all is melted and well combined.
  7. Pour the warm fudge mixture into a bowl and add in the cocoa powder. Stir to combine.
  8. Pull the muffin tin out of the freezer and pour 1 tablespoon of fudge mixture into each cup. The cups should now be about ⅔ full.
  9. Top each chocolate layer with 1 whole brazil nut, or chop them up and sprinkle the chopped pieces over each cup.
  10. Place back in the freezer and allow the cups to set for 15 minutes.
  11. Garnish with the remaining orange zest and enjoy!!
