MINI CACAO FUDGE TREATS



This treat recipe from Michelle Bridges’s recipe collection (originally from Melissa Ambrosini) I did not need to adapt at all. At 80 calories each, these mini treats seem super indulgent after a day of healthy food. I love that no additional oil is added to these little snacks. I would strongly suggest that you opt for fresh Medjool dates, as they are the king of all dates. These are super addictive so just take ONE out of the fridge at a time and eat SLOWLY. I’m set for my next 30 desserts!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup fresh Medjool dates (235g), pits removed and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup walnuts (127g)
  • 1/2 cup cacao powder (45g) 
Preparation 

1. Place the dates, walnuts and cacao in a food processor and process for 1 minute or until finely ground. The mixture should look similar to cake crumbs but should be able to easily stick together. 

2. Firmly press the mixture into ice cube moulds, making sure to fill them to the brim. Depending on the size of your moulds, this recipe should make between 20-30 mini treats. 

3. Place in the fridge until ready to eat.
