Servings:
6+i am a self-proclaimed fudgeaholic, and i used to make a cooked version that was delicious and much healthier than the packaged versions... but i am always challenging myself-so here is a raw one. amazing! i have to hide it because i'm going to
eat the whole batch today otherwise.
this recipe makes 2 little bear molds or probably 1 8"x8" cake pan
(yes, it is shaped like a teddy bear, i have a great silicone mold)
Ingredients:
1/4 cup agave syrup (i used a vanilla one)
1 cup nut butter (i used almond)
1/4 cup coconut butter or coconut cream (the solid
one)
cinnamon, salt, vanilla
optional 1-2 tablespoons of something powdery, like almond or coconut flour (to replace the milk powder)
EDITED VERSION
I heard that the coconut flour wasn't working so last night I came up with the perfect solution I hope-KUDZU! (If its raw...)
Dissolve 1 tbsp or more kudzu in the warmed agave syrup before adding the nut butter. If the dough is still very soft you can sprinkle more and see if it absorbs. I hope it works!
(if you combine fruit and nuts, this would be very good with raisins and even whole nut pieces)
Preparation:
gently warm the butters over a bain marie (much easier to mix), thoroughly blend together by hand or in a mixer, then add in the syrup and spices. if the dough if very sticky or too liquidy you can add the dry
powder.
press into a mold or cake pan, or make into balls.
the dough will stiffen in the fridge very quickly...
slice and serve or pick and snack all day.

1. Holy Moly these were soooo
Holy Moly these were soooo good!!! My three teenageres loved them and only left me 2 oh well, guess I'll have to
make another batch :) Thanks for posting such a tasty treat. (Also I added some raw cacao powder for that dark chocolate look)
2. I'm surprised they didn't
I'm surprised they didn't firm up for you? What kind of nut butter did you use? I know almond butter gets very stiff when refrigerated, but sesame and others might not.If you have the cacao maybe more of it would help, and less agave.
When I made them the first time I used 1/2 cup agave and it was too sweet and I needed a bunch of other things to stiffen the dough.
In the meanwhile, so you don't have to waste you, you could stick it in the freezer. I did that yesterday and I actually had to thaw it out just to bite it. Good luck.
3. these didn't get hard for me.
these didn't get hard for me. I actually thought they were a little too sweet, but i just came off a juice fast, so it might just be my taste buds. I used Almond Flour to thicken it, but i don't think this was a good choice... maybe grind up some dried coconut and try that???
4. Good point. I forgot about
Good point. I forgot about cacao butter! I can't eat chocolate so I didn't even think about that. Use it with or instead of the coconut butter-it would be heavenly I bet! And probably a bit stiffer too. I wouldn't use too much, it might be too rich.
5. Strong & Raw... I am like
Strong & Raw... I am like you... I don't see the cacao in the ingredients. I think she might be replying to you where she replied "The sky is the limit" meaning just add the cacao & taste until you like it? The bear mold is so cute.

8. How much cacao did you add to
How much cacao did you add to make it fudge? I don't see it listed.
9. the sky's the limit. i guess
the sky's the limit. i guess use the measurements as a guide and experiment. that's how i do everything.
yum!!! cappucino flavor sounds amazing, and macadamia nut butter. wow. truly rich.
i cut the bear (sorry) into 6 good sized pieces and ate 3. wow.
i also collect fun molds and stuff. i seem to love silicone lately, because it is so perfect for simple and raw stuff, just twist and pop them out.
10. first off, i love the bear
first off, i love the bear mold!! i collect fun cake molds and muffin pans. it's soo cute.
this fudge sounds so decadent!!! i have cappuccino flavored agave nectar and i think that would be so darn good!! i also just made some macadamia nut butter that would be perfect for this.
