Ingredients
Main Layer
- 300 g walnuts
- 5-6 tbsp extra virgin coconut oil (at room temperature)
- 5 tsp coconut sugar
- 3-4 leaves fresh mint
- 1/5 skin orange (must be organic, grated)
- 75 g dark chocolate (85% cacao, melted)
- 1 tsp raw cacao powder
- 1-2 tbsp cranberries
Top Layer
- 100 g dark chocolate (85% cacao)
- 1 handful cranberries + blackberries (other berries are fine as well)
Instructions
Main Layer
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and let it cool down on the counter.
- Add into a blender all the ingredients for the main layer, except for the berries. That’s melted chocolate, walnuts, extra virgin coconut oil (at room temperature), coconut sugar, mint, orange skin and raw cacao powder.
- Blend for 1-2 minutes until you obtain a thick batter.
- Pour batter into a small tray and add in berries. Gently mix using a spatula until the berries have incorporated into the batter.
- Transfer in the fridge and let it sit for a few hours to solidify.
Top Layer
- Melt chocolate in a double boiler using low temperature. Take your time, you don’t want to boil the chocolate, instead you want to melt it slowly.
- When the chocolate has melted set aside for a few minutes to reach room temperature.
- Remove the tray with the Main Layer from the fridge and pour the melted chocolate over it, making sure to spread it evenly on the entire surface.
- Decorate with berries and place again in the fridge for a few hours or until the fudge has solidified.
- When ready, remove from fridge and cut into squares. Transfer on a plate and enjoy as is, or alongside your favorite coffee or tea.
Notes
Only use the skin from an organic orange. The skin of conventional grown oranges (and other citrus fruits) is loaded with pesticide residues that you want to avoid.
More chocolate will solidify this fudge even more, while using less chocolate will keep it more “fudgy”.
