Guilt-Free Raw Vegan Dessert Recipes That Actually Taste Great

Chewy Chocolate Freezer Fudge

(makes about 64 1” square pieces, about ¾ thick)

  • 2 cups almond butter (one 16-ounce jar)
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder, or raw carob powder sifted to remove any lumps
  • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 heaping tablespoon coconut oil (one heaping tablespoon of solid oil, if liquefied, use 1 1/2 tablespoons)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients, stirring well. You can also use a standing mixer with the paddle attachment, but it’s more fun to do it by hand. Spoon the mixture into little candy molds, flatten with a spoon, and cover with parchment or wax paper. Or line a square baking pan with parchment or plastic. Place the fudge into the pan and cover the surface with parchment or wax paper, pressing down evenly to flatten. Place in the freezer to chill. If using the pan, remove from the freezer after an hour or so, flip it out of the pan onto a flat surface and cut into squares or rectangles. These should be stored, covered in the freezer (otherwise they will get too soft and mushy) where they would keep quite well for a long time if they didn’t always get eaten so fast.
