These little cherry-filled bites are very easy and quick to make. They contain no added sugar, good-for-you cacao and they make an idea gift!
Ingredients:
- 100g unsweetened almond butter
- 5 tbsp coconut oil
- 65g raw cacao powder
- 6 tbsp runny honey
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- Seeds from 1/2 vanilla pod
- 65g dried cherries
Method:
- Blend the almond butter and coconut oil in a food processor for a few seconds to combine. Add the cacao powder and blend again.
- Stir in the honey, salt and vanilla seeds and blend again. Stir in the dried cherries. Do not blend again once the cherries have gone in.
- Line a shallow tin or tray (approx 13 x 10cm or 5 x 4 inches) with baking paper, allowing the paper to overhang the edges by at least 5cm/2 inches. Spoon the mixture into the tin and level the surface. Place the mixture in the freezer for about an hour, or until firm.
- Remove the fudge from the tin by gripping the overhanging paper. Place on a chopping board and using a sharp knife, cut into five slices lengthways. Then cut each slice into seven squares. Serve immediately, or store in the fridge in an airtight container.
