Single-Serving Raw Fudge (Vegan, Paleo)

I know it can be difficult to have self-control when it comes to sweets.SONY DSC

Which is why this single-serving of raw fudge can come in handy when your sweet-tooth hits.

I whip up this fudge pretty often for myself, because it’s quick and easy, and satisfies my chocolate cravings instantly! It’s also a dessert you can feel good about eating. Almond butter is loaded with fiber and minerals, including calcium, potassium and magnesium, which can help balance blood sugar and lower cholesterol. Paired with antioxidant-rich cacao powder, heart-healthy coconut oil and a splash of mineral-rich pure maple syrup, this fudge is a guilt-free indulgence!

I hope you’ll enjoy it as often as I do.

A quick & healthy fudge, perfect for one person.
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon raw almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon raw cacao powder
  • 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
  • ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch fine sea salt

Instructions
  1. In a small bowl combine all of the ingredients and mix well. Adjust flavor to taste, if necessary.
  2. You can eat this directly from the bowl or transfer the mixture to a small plate lined with parchment paper. Whichever you decide, place the mixture in the freezer to set for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Enjoy!

Substitution Notes:

  • I like to use raw cacao powder, but regular cocoa powder will work just fine.
  • For a darker chocolate fudge, reduce the maple syrup. Liquid stevia can also be used for a sugar-free option.
  • If you don’t care for almond butter, any other nut or seed butter can be used instead. You may need to adjust the flavors, to taste.

Creamy Cauliflower Alfredo (Dairy-free, Nut-free)

This creamy Alfredo sauce is deceptively healthy.

In lieu of the heavy cream, butter and cheese found in traditional Alfredo sauce, this particular version gets its creamy texture from pureed cauliflower! Cauliflower is the ultimate “chameleon” of vegetables–> it [...]
