Brazil Nut Fudge

This recipe is an excellent snack to have when you're trying to be healthy and still get your sweet tooth fix. This fudgey treat will satisfy any chocolate craving.

¾ cup raw Brazil nuts
½ cup raw almonds
1/3 cup pumpkin seed butter
2 medium dates, pitted
1/3 cup raw cacao powder
½ tsp. maca
½ tsp. mesquite powder
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
4 Tbsp. coconut sugar
½ small ripe banana
½ tsp. sea salt
½ cup raw cacao powder for topping

In a food processor, combine the Brazil nuts and almonds. Process until a flour-like texture forms.

Add the pumpkin seed butter, dates, cacao powder, maca, mesquite, vanilla, and coconut sugar. Blend well until moist and sticky.

Add the banana and salt and process again to combine.

Be aware that over processing will bring out the oil in the nuts and make the fudge hard to spread. Just process as needed.

Transfer the mixture onto parchment paper and use a spatula to spread it about 2" thick. If you would like a thicker fudge that's fine. It will just yield fewer pieces.

Once it's spread, score the fudge into even squares and place in the freezer. The fudge should be set in one hour. Top with cacao powder and serve.
