Raw Goji + Ginger Chocolate Fudge
0
For all the chocoholics out there this is for you, a healthy alternative to a chocolate brownie or fudge. Again like most of my dessert recipes this is grain, gluten, egg, diary and sugar free..BOOM.
Here’s how you do it!
What you need:
- 1/2 cup organic extra virgin coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons unhulled organic tahini
- 1 cup cacao powder
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup desiccated coconut
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans and macadam nuts (you can use both or one or the other)
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 1/2 cup date paste (see below)
- 1-2 teaspoon organic maple syrup or raw organic honey (only if needed)
- 1/3 cup goji berries
How To Make Date Paste:
Place 9 pitted dates, in food processor with 1/3 cup
water and process until creamy. If dates are dry and hard you can pre-soak them in the 1/3 cup of warm water for 1-2 hours and then blend the dates with the soaking water.
What you do:
- Measure out all ingredients and set aside (this is so your chocolate doesn’t go hard).
- Over very low heat, melt coconut oil and tahini in pan.
- Remove from heat and add cacao powder, vanilla, coconut, pecans, macadama, ginger and date paste, stir till well combined.
- Adjust sweetness with maple syrup or honey – only if needed.
- Pour in to an 8″x8″ parchment lined pan (bottom only).
- Spread evenly and sprinkle with coconut and goji berries, gently pressing the goji’s so that it will stay put.
- Chill until firm.
Tip:
Use a sharp knife to cut into bite size pieces or bars. Keep chilled for optimal firmness. You can also heat in the oven and add cream when serving.
