about 24 squares SERVINGS

Ingredients

  • 12 Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 cup raw almond butter
  • 1 cup raw carob powder
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey
  • Dash of grated nutmeg
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Coconut oil, raw and unrefined (for greasing the pan)

Directions

  • Soak the dates for 4 hours in enough purified water to cover by 1 inch.  Drain and reserve the soak water, if desired.  It can be sipped chilled or used to sweeten a smoothie.
  • Put the dates, almond butter, carob, honey, nutmeg, and salt in a food processor and blend until a cohesive, moist, almost elastic dough forms, 20 – 30 seconds.
  • Oil an 8-inch square pan with coconut oil.  Using your hands or a spatula, press the dough into the pan to a thickness of about 3/4 inch.
  • Place the covered pan in the freezer for 4 hours to harden the fudge prior to cutting.  Remove the pan and cut the fudge into 1-1/2-inch squares.  Store in a tightly sealed container in the freezer for up to 3 months.  Do not store in the refrigerator; it will become too soft.
