Is there anything more pleasing than chilled, velvety, melt-in-the-mouth fudge? This two-tone fudge is a real crowd-pleaser. The salty and creamy peanut butter fudge is studded with our raw cacao nibs whilst the bottom layer is a rich smooth and velvety raw cacao layer to sink your teeth into, made with our rich raw cacao powder.

It’s a no-bake treat of course, and you only need a handful of ingredients. As always, our fudge is gluten-free, vegan-friendly and literally takes 15 minutes to whip up!

Makes: up to 20 fudge squares
Prep time: 15 minutes
Total time: 1hour, inc 30-45 minutes for freezing
Storage: Keep in the freezer and defrost 20 minutes ahead of serving

Ingredients

For the raw cacao fudge layer

• 3 tablespoons of Elements for Life raw cacao powder
• 5 tablespoons of coconut oil
• 3 tablespoons of Sweet Freedom
• A pinch of sea salt

For the raw peanut butter cacao nib fudge layer

• 150g of smooth peanut butter
• 5 tablespoons of coconut oil, melted
• A small handful of Elements for Life raw cacao nibs
• 2 tablespoons of Sweet Freedom
• A pinch of Himalayan pink salt

For decoration

• Extra Elements for Life raw cacao nibs
• A scattering of edible flowers (optional)

Method

1. Line a small square loaf tin with greaseproof paper and set aside.
2. Start with the raw cacao layer by simply melting all the raw cacao fudge layer ingredients together in a small pan. Pour into your prepared tin, leave to cool for a short time and then set in the freezer for a couple of minutes.
3. In a small bowl, whisk all the peanut butter fudge ingredients together and add in your cacao nibs at the last stage. Fold in gently. Freeze for a further 5 minutes or until totally set and then slice it up and enjoy!

Notes: This fudge will last for up to 3 months in the freezer, we used pip and nut peanut butter in this recipe so for best results stick to a slack and drippy version of peanut butter which is made up of only peanuts and salt.
