| Salted cinnamon/vanilla fudge on the left, peppermint fudge on the right — they look the same, but taste so different! |
RAW ORGANIC FUDGE v. 2.0:
BASE (Cashew Butter)
– 4 cups organic raw whole cashews, no salt
– 1/4 cup organic extra virgin coconut oil
– 1/4 cup organic creamed coconut
Place cashews in a food processor and process for about 3 minutes minutes. Add the coconut oil and creamed coconut and continue to process until you have a nice shiny cashew butter. (You may want to add about 1/8 cup each more of coconut oil and creamed coconut if the consistency is not quite creamy and buttery.) This will make about 2 cups of cashew butter.
Divide the base into two bowls, evenly (about 1 cup cashew butter each).
Two flavors we made today (per about 1 cup cashew butter base):

FOR PEPPERMINT FUDGE
– 1 cup organic cashew butter (recipe as above)- 1/2 cup organic cocoa powder, unsweetened
– Stevia (liquid), about 5 drops (or to taste)
– 1 tsp organic peppermint extract
In a bowl with about 1 cup cashew butter base, stir in above ingredients — a spatula works well. Spread mixture in a pan and refrigerate for 2 1/2 hours, or until hardened. Cut, serve (chilled) and enjoy.

Also – I would suggest soaking the cashews 2-3 hrs in filtered water prior – it helps release the toxic enzyme inhibitors which makes it easier to digest and absorb the nutrients from it. 4 Cups Cashews – Soaked for 2-3 Hrs – Yields 5 Cups of Cashews. It makes a creamier cashew butter too.
