Ingredients

Mint Layer

  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • 1/3 cup cashew butter
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/2 cup vanilla or unflavoured protein powder
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon peppermint or mint extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, optional
  • Pinch of sea salt

Chocolate Layer

  • Half of the mint fudge mixture
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

Optional Toppings

  • Cacao nibs
  • Finely chopped dark chocolate
  • Shredded coconut
  • Flaked sea salt

Instructions

  • Line a small loaf pan or square container with parchment paper.
    Add the avocado, cashew butter, melted coconut oil, protein powder, mint extract and sea salt to a food processor or high-speed blender.
    Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
    Taste and add maple syrup or honey if you prefer a sweeter fudge.
    Divide the mixture evenly into two portions.
    Spread one portion evenly into the prepared pan. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
    Return the second portion to the food processor. Add the cocoa powder and blend until completely combined and chocolatey.
    Carefully spread the chocolate mixture over the mint layer, smoothing the top.
    Sprinkle with cacao nibs, chopped chocolate or a little sea salt if desired.
    Refrigerate for 1–2 hours, or freeze until firm.
    Remove from the pan, slice into squares and enjoy.
    Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 1 month. Allow frozen pieces to sit for several minutes before eating.
    Blended Bites Tips 💡
    For the smoothest fudge, use a very ripe avocado. The avocado should be soft and creamy without any brown or fibrous areas.
    Mint extract varies in strength between brands, so start with less and increase gradually.
    If your mixture seems too thick to blend, add a tiny splash of milk or another tablespoon of melted coconut oil.
