Vegan Double Chocolate Fudge

For the Fudge:

Place cashews in the bowl of food processor and grind until very finely ground (be careful to not over process the nuts into butter).

Add the shredded coconut and process until well combined and fine in texture.

Add the pitted dates and process until a soft paste forms.

Add the cacao powder and process again.

Finally, add the maple syrup and a pinch of salt and process to combine until a creamy texture is achieved, scraping down the sides as needed.

Press firmly into a parchment-lined square or rectangular pan or mold.

Place in fridge while making the ganache topping.

For the Ganache:

In the food processor, blend together maple syrup and flesh of ripe avocado until well combined.

Add in cacao powder and a pinch of salt and process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.

Pour over fudge base and spread out evenly over the top.

Sprinkle with hemp seeds or cacao nibs and return pan to fridge to set for at least one hour.

Cut into squares and serve the fudge cold. Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
