Dessert

Avocado Fudge

  • Serves: 15
  • Preparation: 15 minutes
  • Cooks In: 4 hours
  •       

Ingredients

2 large ripe Hass avocados, flesh only*
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp lemon juice
pinch salt
250 g white or caramelised white chocolate
cup coconut oil
To serve, optional
1 tbsp coconut flakes

Method

1

In a food processor blend avocado flesh, honey, lemon juice and salt until smooth.

2

Roughly chop chocolate if using a block. Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in two 30 second bursts to melt. Mix well.

3

Add melted chocolate to the food processor and process until combined. To achieve a more airy texture in the fudge, chill this mixture for an hour – this step is optional.

4

With the machine still running, add melted coconut oil and increase speed to whip the mixture up.

5

Line a (24cm square or 27cm x 17cm rectangular) baking tin with baking paper allowing some paper to overhang. Using a wooden spoon scoop the mixture in and press evenly into the base and sides. Smooth the top and freeze for 4 hours.

6

Remove the fudge from the freezer and lift it out of the tin. Slice into squares and serve immediately sprinkled with some coconut flakes, if using.

7

Store any remaining pieces in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month.

*Note: this recipe works best with chilled avocados.
RECIPE IDEA : You can use the fudge recipe to fill tart cases – store in the fridge instead of freezing for up to 2 days.
