Nutmeg Cashew Chocolate Cranberry Fudge
Toddlers, Kids, Adults
Inspired by an Indian dessert called ‘cashew/kaju barfi’, this nutty fudge incorporates the holiday’s favourite festive ingredients with no white sugar. It’s so healthy that it could even work as breakfast-on-the go (that’s what I’ve been telling myself as I’ve devoured it this week ;)) and is perfect in lunch-boxes.
Yield
12 pieces
Ingredients
2 cups unsalted, roasted cashews
1/4 cup oat flour
1/4 cup honey, maple or date syrup
Pinch sea salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 tsp vanilla powder or extract
1/4 cup dark or milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon
Method
Blend all the ingredients except the chocolate, cranberries and cinnamon until a smooth dough forms, pausing to scrape down the sides of the blender and re-blending a few times until you have a fudge-like texture.
Pack the mixture into a bread tin until about 3/4 inch thick. Press the chocolate chips and cranberries into the top of the mixture. Sprinkle with the cinnamon Freeze for 3-4 hours until set.
Cut into 2X2 inch squares. Store in the freezer. Allow to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before enjoying.
