Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups pumpkin, cooked, mashed
  • 1 cup coconut butter - store bought or recipe below in notes
  • 1/2 cup cashew or almond butter
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Optional

  • chocolate chips, chopped pecans or sea salt sprinkled on top

Instructions

  • Line an 8 x 8” baking pan or dish with parchment paper on the bottom and sides leaving some overhanging to act as a handle to get the fudge bites out easier for cutting. Or you can use silicon candy or bar moulds if preferred.
    Place coconut butter, almond butter, coconut oil and honey to a medium sized saucepan.  We want it a good size as we are going to be mixing the fudge in the saucepan after melting the ‘melty’ ingredients. It saves washing another bowl and that’s always a good thing.
    Gently warm those ‘melty’ ingredients over a gentle heat and mix until well combined. Add pumpkin puree and all of the spices to the saucepan.
    Mix until well combined into a smooth batter. Scoop mixture out into your lined pan or moulds and spread evenly with a spatula or back of a spoon.
    Top with an optional sprinkle of chocolate chips, chopped pecans or sea salt and place in freezer for 2 hours or until set.
    Remove from the freezer and allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Slice into 16-20 pieces depending on what size you prefer.
    Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for a few days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
