    Raw chocolate and cherry fudge for vegans

    By Amy Treasure · Sep 15, 2015 · 67 Comments

    I’ve recently had  bit of a blip food wise. I’ve been blaming it on the recent house move (which was 3 months ago!) and leading an extremely busy life but have to face facts that I am a greedy so and so at times and fall into bad eating habits all too easily.

    So, I’ve decided to go back to my mainly vegan, mostly sugar free life. I say ‘mainly' and ‘mostly' because it is possible that I will catch myself out by uploading a burger shot or similar to Instagram, so I’m not going to declare myself a food angel, just yet...

    Cherry and raw chocolate fudge

    I eat vegan and sugar free for health reasons and because I feel so much better when I do. When I stick to it, and I’m exercising I feel as though I am on my A game! However, I have a sweet tooth and thought I’d give this raw chocolate fudge recipe a try to satiate my appetite.

    Ridiculously simple to make, once they’re done just pop them in the fridge and dip in when you need a sweet-fix, the cherries go lovely and chewy and there is a gorgeous hint of chocolaty coconut.

    Ingredients

    • 100g almond butter (or any other nut butter)
    • 100g coconut oil, plus extra for greasing
    • 50g of dried cherries
    • 50g of raw cacao powder
    • 100g of honey (use 100g agave nectar to make them vegan)
    • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
    • a pinch of sea salt

    Method

    Put nut butter and coconut oil in a food processor, whiz for a minute or so. Sieve in the raw cacao and add all other ingredients except for the cherries. Whiz until gooey. Add cherries and mix with a spoon. Using a spatula transfer to a coconut oil-greased and lined baking tray. Put in the freezer for 30 minutes. Cut into fudge sized chunks. They will keep for around two weeks in the fridge.

    Enjoy!

    Rustle up a sweet treat in 5 mins. This is such a simple recipe and the fudge is divine. Made from all raw ingredients no cooking required!

      My sister in law is a vegan and she's always looking for new recipes, so I will definitely send this her way. It sounds like something she'd like.

      Such an easy recipe. I'm not vegan but I like this. Great pictures too.
      I'm also cutting down on sugar intake so this is useful.

        They are delicious Hannah! I thought you might like them. You can buy cacao in Holland and Barett ( I get mine in the penny sale) or even in some supermarkets xxx

      We go through phases of eating vegan, and it's amazing how much better we feel for doing so. But we also love eating meat and fish, so they soon sneak back in. This fudge looks so delicious! Chocolate and cherry are a winning combo in my book!

      That looks amazing! I've recently had to become dairy free for health reasons but have such a sweet tooth. I'm also always on the lookout for sugar free treats for my little boys so might have to make a batch (although can't see them staying in the fridge for long!)

        They are rather yummy! You can buy almond butter from the supermarket these days, it’s usually with the regular peanut butter.
