RECIPE
Makes 12-24 pieces
​
INGREDIENTS
​
Almond Butter Fudge:
- 1 cup Almond butter
- 2/3 cup cacao butter
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- Pinch of sea salt
​
Acai & Vanilla layer:
- 1 cup cashews (soaked overnight)
- 2 tbsp coconut cream
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- Juice of half a lemon
- 4 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/3 cup cacao butter
- 1.5 tsp Acai powder
​
Chocolate Topping (Optional):
- 1/4 cup cacao butter
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 1 tsp acai powder
PREPARATION
​
Almond Butter Fudge:
- Melt the cacao butter gently in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler).
- Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients. Keep the bowl on top of the saucepan to make sure it doesn't set too quickly
- Evenly distribute the mixture into silicone moulds, or into a baking dish lined with parchment paper.
- Place the mixture into the freezer to set while you prepare the next layer.
​
Acai & Vanilla layer:
- Melt the cacao butter over a double boiler.
- Meanwhile take the remaining ingredients, except the acai powder and add them to your blender and process until completely smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes).
- Add the oil/cacao butter to the mixture and blend again, just to combine.
- Split the mixture into 2 parts. Add the acai powder to one half and blend to combine.
- Remove the fudge from the freezer and distribute the white cream mixture on top of it. Tap down against the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Place back into the freezer for 30 mins-1 hour.
-Remove from freezer and make sure that the mixture has set slightly. Add the acai layer and refreeze for 4 hours or preferably overnight. (at his point you can hold back some of the acai mixture and pipe it op top for decoration if you are skipping the chocolate layer)
​
Chocolate topping (Optional):
- Melt the cacao butter
- Add the maple syrup and vanilla bean paste and continue to stir gently until smooth.
- Split the mixture into 2 parts.
- Remove the fudge from the freezer and drizzle the first half of the chocolate mixture on top. Put back into the freezer to let it harden slightly.
- Add the teaspoon of acai powder to the second part stir until completely mixed.
- Drizzle this over the fudge so that you get the white/purple effect of both parts.
- Remove from the moulds and cut into cubes.
- Store these in the freezer, and remove 15-20 mins before serving.
