Delicious Cashew Butter Fudge

If you like eating cashew butter you’ll love this delicious cashew butter fudge. It’s creamy and soft, comes packed with healthy fats and works great as a grab snack or healthy dessert.

This fudge was inspired by endless nights of eating cashew butter and raisins, with a tablespoon. Am I the only one that thinks cashew butter and raisins are made to be together?

Delicious cashew fudge like no other

I love dark chocolate so much that I keep it in the house like all the time. The same is true for all the other close relatives of chocolate: raw cacao, cacao mass and cacao butter.

Since I also have coconut oil at my disposal all the time, one day I’ve said to myself: “What would happen if I would combine all these delicious ingredients into some kind of raw indulgence?”

The result? Something… Delicious. Creamy. Soft. Fudgy. With Cashew. And Chocolate. And Raisins. And More Cashew.

You have to try this raw fudge to really appreciate it because it doesn’t really compare with anything “conventional”. Plus it’s great for every occasion and for every time of day (or night).

Ingredients List

One of the things that I really like about these raw desserts is that you don’t need many ingredients to make them, and this fudge is no different.

The recipe asks for only a few basic ingredients, as follows:

• cashew butter (preferably without salt)
• extra virgin coconut oil
• dark chocolate (85% or more)
• cacao butter
• raisins
• pinch of Himalayan salt (skip if cashew butter has salt)

Steps to make Delicious Cashew Butter Fudge

1. In a double boiler, add coconut oil, dark chocolate, cacao butter and salt.
2. Once everything has combined into a chocolate paste, remove double boiler from heat and set aside until we take care of the other half of our fudge.
3. In a separate bowl, add cashew butter with raisins and mix until the raisins have incorporated.
4. Once the chocolate paste is at room temperature (but still liquid), add it on top of the cashew-raisins paste.
5. Using a silicone spatula, incorporate the chocolate paste into the cashew-raisins paste.
6. Pour the above cashew-chocolate-raisins base into a glass or ceramic dish (flat bottom) and transfer into the fridge to solidify for a few hours.
7. Once solid, remove from the fridge and use a big knife to cut into square like portions. DONE!

Tips for making the perfect cashew butter fudge

• Use minimal heat in double boiler – It’s very important to use minimal heat when mixing your chocolate in the double boiler. That’s because heat destroys the antioxidants found in chocolate, plus we don’t want to boil the chocolate (lol).
• Did you chocolate paste turn solid? – If your chocolate paste has solidified, it will be impossible to combine it with the cashew butter (or anything else for that matter). My advice is to melt it again in the double boiler for half a minute or until it becomes creamy again.
• Pay special attention to salt – In case the cashew butter you’re using has added salt, do not use the salt from the ingredients list (unless you want to end-up with a salty fudge).
• Do not use hot ingredients – Avoid combining the hot chocolate paste with cashew butter because this will ruin your fudge’s texture. The best option is to let the chocolate paste cool down at room temperature before using it.
• How to portion fudge – Removing this fudge from the tray can be a bit challenging sometimes, especially if it hasn’t solidified enough. Start with the edges and use a big knife to cut the portions from a single stroke.
