Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Black beans (cooked, drained, and rinsed)
- 0.5 cup Natural peanut butter (unsweetened)
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened, Dutch-processed preferred)
- 0.5 cup Granulated erythritol or low-carb sweetener of choice
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (sugar-free, optional)
Instructions
Place the cooked and rinsed black beans in a food processor or blender. Process until smooth and creamy.
Add the peanut butter, cocoa powder, erythritol, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the blender. Blend until the mixture is fully combined and has a thick, fudge-like consistency.
If desired, stir in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips by hand for added texture and flavor.
Line a small square baking dish (8x8 inch or similar) with parchment paper. Use a spatula to transfer the fudge mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly and pressing down to create a smooth surface.
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours or until the fudge has set and is firm to the touch.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper and slice into 12 squares or as desired.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
