Ingredients

  • 2 cups almonds
  • 1 cup cacao powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 2 cups pitted dates
  • ½ cup raisins
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar

For Optional Fudge Glaze:

  • 2 tablespoons almond milk
  • ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips
  • teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

  • The dates are best when soaked in warm water for 10 minutes to soften them and then drained.
  • In a food processor, process the almonds until fine. Add in the cacao powder and process some more, scraping down the sides of the bowl when necessary.
  • Add in the cinnamon, chili powder and sea salt and pulse a few times.
  • Add in the soften and drained dates and the raisins ½ cup at a time, processing each time and scraping down the sides of your food processor bowl often.
  • Drizzle in the agave and vanilla. If you need to add in more agave to moisten the mixture you can.
  • Press the mixture into a 8x8 baking dish and place it in your fridge while you make the fudge sauce.

For the Sauce:

  • Heat the almond milk in a small skillet over medium heat. Once warm add in the chocolate chips and stir until all the chips have melted. Add in the chili powder and stir some more.
  • Pour the fudge sauce over top of the brownies and spread evenly over the top of the brownies.
  • Place the brownies in the fridge to cool and then cut into 16 squares.
  • Keep stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a week.
