Time 15m

Yield 24 squares, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (15 ounce) can canned black beans, drained and rinsed
6 tablespoons coconut oil, melted or 6 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 -4 tablespoon agave nectar, brown rice syrup, honey, maple syrup or 1 -4 tablespoon coconut nectar, to taste
1/4-1/2 teaspoon stevia powder, to taste
1 pinch sea salt (I like using Maldon salt flakes, pretty and tasty!)

Steps:

  • Put all ingredients (except salt) in high-powered blender (like a VitaMix) or food processor and process until totally smooth. I do not recommend using a normal blender, because mixture will be very thick and really hard to process.
  • Line an 8"x4" loaf pan with saran wrap, or place saran wrap on a plate, and transfer fudge mixture to pan, pressing down firmly. If forming on a plate, form a rectangle and smooth edges as much as possible. Sprinkle with a little bit of coarsely ground sea salt. Place in the refrigerator, and let set for at least 1 hour, or until totally firm. Slice into 24 squares (approx 1" squares), and serve!
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 5-6 days (but it won't last that long!). For longer storage, cut fudge squares can be frozen, and defrosted in the refrigerator or at room temperature until thawed. DO NOT microwave the frozen fudge to defrost it unless you want fudge sauce; the oil will melt!
  • VARIATION:.
  • Mint fudge: add 1/2-1 tsp mint extract along with other ingredients, and blend as directed.
  • Nutty fudge: add 2-4 Tbsp chopped nuts to mixture after blending or substitute 1-2 Tbsp of coconut oil with nut/seed butter.

RICH BLACK BEAN FUDGE

When pureed with cocoa powder, dates, vanilla, and coconut oil, black beans miraculously become fudge! Their flavor blends seamlessly with the chocolate-coconut notes, and they become smooth, creamy, and, well, fudgy. We soften the dates first by bringing them to a boil with water; this helps ensure they puree more easily. Be sure to purchase whole dates and remove the pits yourself, as they tend to be much softer and creamier than pre-pitted dates. Store the fudge in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to one month.

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 item(s) Medjool dates whole, pitted
15 oz Canned low sodium black beans rinsed and drained
0.5 cup(s) Unsweetened cocoa powder
0.25 cup(s) Powdered sugar (confectioner's)
2 tsp Vanilla extract
0.25 tsp Kosher salt
5 Tbsp Coconut oil melted

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine the dates, beans, cocoa, sugar, vanilla, and salt; process on high until well blended, about 1 minute. Drizzle with the oil; process until the mixture is completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Line an 8-inch square baking pan with plastic wrap. Spread the fudge mixture evenly into a thin layer in the pan. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Lift the fudge from the pan with the plastic wrap; cut into 6 rows each way to form 36 squares.

Tips:
