Okay so this blog post is slightly belated - about 3 months actually! I have had a lot going on in these last few months. I finished my degree (I actually had confirmation a few days ago that I passed - hooray!), I moved back home to Wales, I worked at the museum for a few weeks, then I moved to Berlin! So it has been pretty chaotic as you can imagine!
Before I left my final year placement in Leicester I wanted to make some little treats for my lovely co-workers and decided on this vegan chocolate cherry fudge recipe I found from Madeleine Shaw. I couldn't find any dried cherries so I went for dried strawberries instead (I think it was a pretty good choice!). I also bought the cute little gift boxes from Paperchase (find them here!)
You will need:
- 100g Almond butter
- 100g coconut oil (melted)
- 50g dried strawberries (cut into tiny chunks)
- 100g coco powder
- 100g agave syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt
Instructions:
- Blend the almond butter and coconut oil in a food processor.
- Add the rest of the ingredients except for the strawberries to the food processor and blend until combined.
- Add the strawberries to the mixture and fold in
- Add the mixture to a 24cm baking tin and put in the freezer for 30 mins
- Remove from the freezer and cut into pieces.
They are absolutely delicious! The only thing was that they melted too quickly! So next time I would probably melt some chocolate to coat them in - so that they would be more like chocolate fudge sweets :)
