Healthy Dark Chocolate Fudge (2-ingredients – vegan, paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free).

Are you interested in healthy dark chocolate fudge?

How about a 2-ingredient fudge?

How about a no-cook recipe?

How about a plant-based, vegan, dairy-free fudge? Refined-sugar-free fudge? Creamy and flavorful and ready in an hour or so.

Did I just make your day? I  made my family’s day, you should have seen the smiles.

I love recipes that are easy, fresh and fast. And when they involve dark chocolate? Oh my.

Of course the most important ingredient in this recipe is the dark chocolate. So I recommend brands like Green & Black, Pascha, or Eating Evolved or any other fair-trade, organic brand that contains minimal ingredients, with cacao or cocoa listed first and with at least 70% cacao or more, and including cocoa butter. You don’t want to see sugar or alkali processing.

The cashew butter in this recipe of course adds protein and healthy fats and I recommend Whole Foods 365 brand if you have access to that store. Obviously feel free to sub in any other nut butter – almond, hazelnut, pecan, walnut – just be sure the nut butter is only nuts and not polluted with sugar or other unpronounceable ingredients.

Again, the Whole Foods 365 brand is perfect for this recipe in terms of wholesomeness and the right amount of nut oil to make this fudge creamy. Other good nut butter brands abound however, pick your favorite.

But the real star is the dark chocolate which is high in fiber, antioxidants, iron, magnesium, copper, potassium, zinc, and stimulants such as caffeine and theobromine and more.

How does this benefit you? Well all this improves your blood flow, asks your muscles to relax, protects your skin from sun, boosts your cognitive abilities and more. There. So, you are welcome.

Ingredients

• 1 cup cashew butter
• 1 cup dark chocolate (I also love quality chocolate by HU, Valrhona, Pascha, and Eating Evolved)

Useful Equipment

• 1 2-cup pyrex measuring cup
• Silicon Mold (I used this brand)
• 1 8-inch x 4-inch loaf pan (Use this or the mold)

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

1. Put the nut butter and chocolate chips in a 2-cup pyrex measuring cup, and then put that cup with hot-to-boiling water.

2. Melt both, swirl together with a spoon. Don't let any water splash into your fudge!

   When fully blended, pour into either the loaf pan (first line it with parchment)
   

   OR

   Pour into silicon mold.

   Either way, I sprinkled mine with salt and cacao nibs.
   

3. Refrigerate the pan or mold until chocolate is set - probably 30 minutes or more.
   

   You can also speed set in the freezer. You can keep it refrigerated for a week in an air-tight container.
