Recipe of the day-Vegan Fudge

I used to love fudge before I went vegan. I always looked forward to going to my Great Grandmas during Christmas time, she made the best fudge. I thought my fudge filled days were over, but they are not! I made some vegan fudge little over a year ago but the recipe was difficult. I found this great recipe at

ingredients

• 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
• 1/2 cup coconut oil (room temperature, not melted)
• 1/3 cup raw hazelnuts
• 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Fleur de sel or cacao nibs for topping (optional)

instructions

1. Combine all of the ingredients in your food processor and process until mixture is completely smooth. This might take several minutes, kind of like when you make nut butter. Be patient! Transfer the fudge mixture to a small rectangular baking dish that's been lined with parchment paper and use a spatula to spread it in an even layer. Sprinkle tops with fleur de sel or cacao nibs, if using. Refrigerate until solid, then remove the fudge from the baking dish and cut into squares.

notes

Store the fudge in an airtight container in your refrigerator or freezer. If you freeze it, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
