Description
This Dairy-Free Calcium Fudge is a powerhouse of nutrients, blending the natural sweetness of dried figs and raisins with the rich, nutty flavors of sesame seeds and almonds. Enhanced by the deep, robust taste of blackstrap molasses and a hint of cinnamon, this fudge is not only delicious but also packed with calcium and other essential nutrients.
Ingredients
For the Calcium Fudge:
1 cup / 150g dried figs, stems removed
2 cups / 280g sesame seeds
1 cup / 140g almonds
1 cup raisins
5 tbsp blackstrap molasses
4 tbsp cacao/cocoa powder
1 tbsp cinnamon
For the Chocolate Avocado Frosting:
2 avocados
4–6 tbsp sweetener (such as maple or coconut syrup)
2 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for a firmer frosting)
4 tbsp cacao/cocoa powder
Instructions
Place the sesame seeds and almonds into a food processor and blend for a few minutes until they are broken up but not completely smooth.
Add the dried figs, raisins, blackstrap molasses, cacao/cocoa powder, and cinnamon to the food processor. Blend for a few minutes until the mixture sticks together and forms a ball.
Turn out the fudge mixture into an 8-inch square pan and press it down evenly to form the base.
In a small jug or blender, combine all the frosting ingredients: avocados, sweetener, coconut oil (if using), and cacao/cocoa powder. Blend until smooth, adding a few tablespoons of water if needed to reach a spreadable consistency.
Spread the avocado frosting evenly over the fudge base.
Chill the fudge in the refrigerator until the frosting is set, about 1-2 hours.
Once set, slice the fudge into squares and enjoy. The calcium fudge will last for three days in the fridge with the frosting or can be stored for several weeks without the frosting. It can also be frozen for longer storage.
