This is my adaptation of what I saw Christina Pirello make the other night.
It's super quick and good. But make sure that you have all of the ingredients before you start! Heh! I blasted right in there and then thought... Wait! Do I have cocoa powder? I did not. Not sure it would work without it because it seems to need that to help thicken it. She used a food processor to make hers so she used a cold vegan butter. I have no food processor so I softened my sunseed butter and Nucoa for 20 seconds in the microwave. 1 cup nut/seed butter (the natural kind) I used sunseed 1/4 cup cocoa powder pinch salt scant pinch cinnamon scant pinch chili powder scant pinch black pepper 1/3 cup brown rice syrup 2 tablespoons vegan butter substitute 1/2 teaspoon vanilla (use the good stuff) 1/ cup coarsely broken walnuts Basically all I did was soften the seed butter and vegan margarine slightly then mix everything but the nuts in my large pasta bowl. I used a good stiff spoon. Then I mixed in the nuts. Then I pressed this into a foil lined rectangular container. You want it to be about 1" thick. Chill for 3 hours then cut into squares. This will not have that slightly grainy texture that a cooked fudge will but it's nice and chew and not overly sweet. And best of all, it's super quick! Well... The chilling time does take a while but I already got into it with a spoon. Which I probably shouldn't have because chocolate tends to mess with my GERD but so far, so good. I would imagine that in its softened state it would be yummy to use with ice cream. And yes, I know that brown rice syrup is purported to be high in arsenic but this is only the second time in my life that I have used the product and I don't intend to use it often. I imagine that honey (although not vegan) would give you the same texture but it would for sure change the taste. |
