In Desserts, Taste Posted November 16, 2012

Cashews and coconuts and chewy chocolate fudgsies

Dragons and handstands and bright crimson fall leaves

Waltzing into love and swinging on swings

These are a few of my favorite things!

So… “When the dog bites

When the bee stings

When I’m feeling sad

I simply remember my favorite things

And then I don’t feel so bad!”

Adapted from the song “My favorite things” in The Sound of Music

What are some of your favorite things? 😀

I’ve been finding new blessings to give thanks for every day. Like final shavasana after a hot, sweaty yoga class. Long inspiring letters from daddy. Twirling ‘round the kitchen floor with my darling. Biting into a perfectly ripe, juicy, sunshine-kissed mango. And of course, chocolate-covered delights, which I’m about to share with you!

Becoming part of this wonderful blogging community has also been an incredible experience for me. I am endlessly grateful for all the support and inspiration you give me!

So here’s to wishing you a weekend FULL of your favorite things, and some yummylicious fudge to start it off! xo

Love, Sufey

INGREDIENTS (makes two baking sheets full):

• 3 cups raw almond butter
• 2 organic avocados
• 1 cup maple syrup
• ½  cup almond milk
• ½ cup cashew chunks
• ½  cup unsweetened shredded coconut + more to garnish
• ¼  cup raw carob powder
• 2 tbsp organic extra-virgin coconut oil
• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• chocolatey bliss!

DIRECTIONS:

Blend avocado, almond butter, almond milk, maple syrup, coconut oil and carob powder in a big bowl. This is the basis of the fudge; all other ingredients are optional. Mix it up with nuts, spices or dried fruit, and share what you like!

Stir in everything else with a big smile and an extra-big scoop of blissful anticipation.

Spread the whole yummy mess onto parchment-paper covered baking sheets. Smooth the tops over with another sheet of parchment paper. Lick the bowl, of course. 😉

Sprinkle with shredded coconut or gogi berries to decorate & stick in freezer overnight. Slice into squares or mini-hearts!

ENJOY!! <3
