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.
