date & carob frozen fudge
- 1 cup figs (or pitted dates like I used)
- 1½ cups water
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla
- ½ to 1 cup almond butter or sunflower butter (I used almond)
- ½ to 1 cup raw carob powder (or you could use cocoa for a more chocolaty fudge)
- ½ cup hempseeds
- Place the figs in a bowl, cover with water, and soak for about an hour until soft. Drain, and reserve the liquid.
- In a blender or food processor mix the figs and vanilla until smooth, slowly adding the reserved water as needed to form a creamy consistency.
- Transfer the fig mixture to a large bowl and add in the almond butter, and stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl, mix the carob powder and hempseeds.
- Gradually add the dry carob mixture to the wet fig mixture, and stir well.
- Press or smooth evenly into an 8x8 baking pan and freeze until firm (about 3 hours).
- To serve cut into 1 inch squares.
