Ingredients
- 350g soft pitted dates (deglet noor or medjool are perfect)
- 200g hulled hemp seeds (without the shells)
- 100g Elements for Life raw cacao powder
- 3 tbsp Sweet Freedom (or syrup sweetener of choice)
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a food processor and blitz until sticky and shiny, typically at least 5 minutes. You can't really over-process this, but if you don't do it long enough then your fudge won't be creamy enough
- Add your sticky mixture into a flexible tray or a parchment lined rigid tray, smooth out to about 1cm think
- Place in the fridge for at least an hour
- Remove from the fridge, cut into portions and enjoy
Best kept either in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer where it will keep for up to a month.
Variations
Add a few chopped nuts towards the end of the processing so they are mixed through without being crushed, to give a nutty crunch to your fudge.
You could also add a top layer of raw chocolate before allowing it to set in the fridge.
