Raw Cacao Walnut Fudge
Fudge. Easy, decadent, satisfying, raw? You bet. Traditional fudge is made from lots of sugar (the recipe I had called for 2 and 1/2 cups!), butter, evaporated milk, and usually semi sweet chocolate, which is loaded with more sugar and fat. This raw food recipe is quick and only contains almonds, cacao powder and a little agave. I threw in walnuts because they have a ton of their own health benefits (see here) and I love chocolate and walnuts.
Cacao Walnut Fudge
- 1 cup Almond Butter (LINK RECIPE)
- 1/2 cup Cacao Powder
- 1/4 cup Agave
- 1/2 cup Walnuts, chopped.
- Mix together almond butter, cacao powder and agave. It is easiest to to this with your hand. Once it is well combined, mix in the walnuts.
- You can put this in an 8 x 8 sq pan or, use a mold. I used a little heart silicone one that I picked up one day.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Hey Susan, just found this page today wanted to say all the recipes look amazing, but i was just wondering were you purchase you Agave from?

I usually get mine from the coop or Whole Foods. Look for raw, organic agave and if you have questions, call the people who make it so find out how they do it.

Just a note. Mashing these with a whole banana untill smooth, makes for a delicious pudding! I put in less Agave, roll into balls and mash with a banana as a lovely treat.

Hi Susan,
I’m giving this recipie a try today and was wondering, what is the best way to store them? At room temperature on in the fridge? Also, how long will they stay fresh for?
Thanks 🙂
