What can I say about this peppermint fudge!

It is one of the most delicious raw desserts that I have ever made. Every time I make it, I want to eat it straight out of the bowl before I set it in the freezer.

It is seriously that good!!! You can play around with the flavours too and make lots of different ones, like this Chocolate Orange Fudge and this Chocolate Almond Fudge.

WHY YOU WILL LOVE THIS RECIPE

Gluten & Dairy Free - suitable for people with gluten and dairy/lactose intolerances.

Healthy wholefood ingredients - which are easy to find at any supermarket, health store, food markets, or on-line store.

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED

Cashew butter - or you can use any other nut butter.
Coconut oil - make sure it is melted when you add it to the blender or food processor
Cacao powder
Maple syrup - you could also use honey or rice malt syrup
Peppermint essential oil or peppermint extract

Tips When Using Essential Oils

Make sure you use top quality essential oils that are food grade only. There are some great brands on the market and the flavour is unbeatable. I much prefer to use a food grade essential oil than an extract, however the extract will still work well if that is all you have.

Storage Tips

This fudge will last up to one week in your refrigerator or up to 2-3 months in your freezer. Just make sure you store in an air-tight container.
