Total Time: 23-40 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 large sticky dates chopped up (medjool or deglet nour are ideal)
• 3 tablespoons of maple syrup/Sweet Freedom
• 2 heaped tablespoons of Elements for Life raw cacao powder
• 80g of Elements for Life raw cacao butter
• 3 tablespoons of almond flour
• 2 tablespoons of desiccated coconut (you could use coconut chips and blitz them in a food processor)
• Up to 120g of Elements for Life coconut chips, for coating

Method

1. Over a very low heat, melt your cacao butter. Once completely melted, add your chosen sweetener and chopped dates. Turn the heat off and allow to cool down
2. In a medium bowl, add the almond flour, desiccated coconut and raw cacao powder. Pour in the melted raw cacao butter which has cooled a little at this stage and mix well
3. As soon as the mixture comes together, take a teaspoon and roll the mixture in between your hands. Be quick at this stage as the raw cacao butter will set if you don’t work with the mixture quick enough
4. Roll your fudge balls in the coconut chips and set to one side to set. This should take around 10 minutes or so at room temperature.
