This is another healthy take on fudge using my Optimum 9400 blender from Froothie.
Did you see my Coconut fudge a couple of months back? Tasted
like fudge, all buttery and melt in the mouth.
Well, this is kinda like that. Somewhere in between fudge and a health bar. It only has 4 ingredients and
is sort of raw baking. Dried cranberries, pineapple and dates, plus some
almonds are chucked into the blender and whizzed up until a solid ball forms.
I did need to use the tamper which comes with the blender to make sure
everything came into contact with the blades.
It took no time at all for the ‘fudge’ to be made and
transferred to a plastic tub (about 6”x4”) lined with some greaseproof paper,
like I didn’t do. It did come out after some encouragement after being
refrigerated to harden up a little.
The result was a block of crimson delight. Little cubes of
sweetness and a little buttery-ness thanks to the almonds and dates.
Be warned, the Optimum 9400 is a super-powerful blender and other inferior blenders may not cope with the sticky ingredients. To purchase the Optimum 9400, click on the link above.
Here is how it’s made…
