How To Prepare Healthy And Delicious Choco Fudge in 5 Minutes
I’m a nutritionist and as such I try to prepare foods that are really nutritious without compromising on their taste. I’m a person with a penchant for eating sweet foods but I also like them to be healthy and not just your typical junk food.
Most of the time desserts that have been labeled as healthy contain artificial sweeteners in them so as to replace the sugar in the dish but this is also not healthy.
Today I’ll be sharing this really delicious choco fudge recipes that are really healthy and wouldn’t make you feel guilty about eating chocolate.
Healthy Choco Fudge
100g Dark Sugar Free Carob Chocolate
20 Dates (stones removed)
Handful Raisins
2 Handfuls Almonds
Few Drops Vanilla Extract
Sprinkle Sunflower Seeds
Rapeseed oil to grease (or other flavorless vegetable oil)
(Note: You could use dark cocoa chocolate instead. Also it is best to use a small plastic container so the fudge can easily come out as a block once set.)
Chop 15 dates and blend them into a mushy ball in your food processor. Put to the side till later. Chop up your other five dates and almond nuts. Place them into a bowl along with the raisins.
Put a small pan of water on a medium heat; place a small bowl over the top of the pan. Do not fill the pan with too much water. Break your chocolate into pieces and place into the small bowl to melt your chocolate fudge.
Once melted add the vanilla to the bowl. Stir your blended up dates into the chocolate, it might look a bit lumpy. Add it straight to the bowl containing the nuts and raisins, mix well. Take a small plastic container and lightly grease it with rapeseed oil. Pour the chocolate fudge mixture into it. Spread evenly and press in the mixture with the back of a spoon quite firm.
Sprinkle with sunflower seeds, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for an hour. Once cooled your healthy chocolate fudge should come easily out of the plastic container. Your chocolate fudge will look like a slab of thick chocolate, cut into little chunks and keep wrapped up or inside a container in your fridge. Enjoy your healthy chocolate fudge.
Healthy Choco Fudge II
1/2 c of virgin coconut oil
1/2 c of cocoa powder
1/2 c of coconut/palm sugar (the paste like kind)
Dash of sea salt
1/2 tsp of vanilla
Inside a heat resistant, glass measuring cup (Pyrex), place coconut oil. Fill a small saucepan with a few inches of water, and place the glass measuring cup in it. Heat on the stove top until coconut oil is mostly melted (the coconut oil should be room temperature, not hot. This will protect its raw benefits).
Into your food processor using the regular blade, add the melted coconut oil and the rest of the ingredients and mix until well combined. Place enough plastic wrap or parchment paper inside a loaf pan to cover the bottom and sides of the pan. Scrape your fudge “dough” into the loaf pan, and fold the plastic wrap or parchment paper over the top of the fudge.
Gently press down; to even out the thickness of the fudge (you want it to be about 1/2 inch thick, it will cover probably about 1/2 of the bottom of your loaf pan). Take out the fudge, carefully wrapped up, and place in the freezer or refrigerator until it has set up. In the freezer it only takes about 20- to 30 minutes.
Cut into small squares, and enjoy!
