VEGAN AVOCADO FUDGE



Avocado is natures butter. If I handed you this fudge – you would never guess avocado is in it. Seriously. It’s there in place of butter & is a beautiful healthy fat (aka less guilt!). Win win. The texture is silky smooth and oh so addicting.

VEGAN AVOCADO FUDGE RECIPE
Decadent vegan avocado fudge! Perfectly rich, creamy and a healthier option for Valentines day or whenever those chocolate cravings come on strong!



INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1 /2 cup vegan chocolate chips (or any if not vegan)
  • ⅔ cup coconut cream (see notes)
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa
  • ¾ cup coconut sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 2 large avocados
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Line a 6x6 or comparable size pan with parchment paper (so the fudge doesn't stick).
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat add your chocolate chips, coconut cream, unsweetened cocoa, coconut sugar, vanilla and sea salt. Stir frequently until all is melted, silly and smooth. Set aside.
  3. In a food processor or blender, add your avocados and blend until completely. Add in your chocolate sauce and again blend until smooth (have a little taste test!).
  4. Pour into your prepared pan, sprinkle the top with chopped walnuts, cover and place in the freezer to firm up (4-6 hours). When ready to eat remove from freezer & eat immediately or let soften at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. Enjoy!
