Ingredients
  

Fudgy base

  • 2 cups raw cashews
  • 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 260 g/9oz medjool dates pitted
  • 100 g/3.5oz goji berries
  • 1 cup raw cacao powder
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon of Himalayan sea salt I used a whole teaspoon because I love the combination of salt and chocolate but if you are trepidatious add it bit by bit and taste the mix as you do

Ganache Icing

  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil try to use cold pressed oil for ultimate health benefits
  • 1/2 cup raw cacao powder
  • Generous pinch of Himalayan sea salt

Optional Toppings

  • Raw cacao nibs
  • Goji berries

Instructions
 

Fudgy base

  • Place cashews in the bowl of food processor and grind until very finely ground (be careful to not over process the nuts into butter)
  • Add the shredded coconut and process until well combined and fine in texture.
  • Add the pitted dates and goji berries and process until it is mixed well. When you squish some together it should stick together and flatten like a dough
  • Add the cacao powder – process again.
  • Finally add the maple syrup and the salt and process to combine until you have a nice creamy texture!
  • Press firmly into a dish lined with baking paper.
  • Place in fridge while making the ganache topping.

Ganache Icing

  • In the food processor, blend together maple syrup and coconut oil until well combined.
  • Add in cacao powder and a pinch of salt and process until smooth.
  • Pour over fudge base and spread out evenly over the top.

Slice

  • Sprinkle with cacao nibs and goji’s and return to fridge to set and firm for at least one hour.
  • Cut into squares and serve the fudge cold. Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • These will keep in the fridge for up to 2 months (though I doubt they will remain uneaten that long!) and you can also freeze it if needed.
