- 1 cup cashew butter (or other preferred nut/seed butter)
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Toppings -Optional
- 1/2 cup roasted peanuts
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Line a 8 x 8-inch pan or dish with parchment paper on the bottom and sides leaving some overhanging to act as a handle to get the fudge out easier for cutting. Or use a silicon pan or molds.Add the dates to a food processor along with the cashew butter, melted coconut oil, and vanilla. Process everything together until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the food processor as needed.Scoop the fudge mixture out into the lined pan and smooth it out with a spatula or back of a spoon. If using roasted peanuts,press them into the top of the fudge or sprinkle with flaky sea salt.Place it in the fridge to set for 4 hours or overnight. You can also set it quicker in the freezer for about 2 hours.When set, lift out of pan using the parchment paper handles or pop out of silicon molds and cut into 20 (more or less) pieces depending on your size preference.Store in fridge up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months.
