What makes this Brazil Nut Fudge raw?

This fudge is considered raw because it involves no baking or cooking, relying on a food processor to combine raw Brazil nuts, almonds, cacao, and other ingredients, then setting it in the freezer.

Can I substitute the Brazil nuts or almonds in this recipe?

The recipe specifically uses Brazil nuts and almonds for their unique texture when processed into a flour-like base; substituting them might alter the fudge's final consistency.

How can I prevent the fudge from becoming too oily or hard to spread?

The recipe advises against over-processing the nuts, as this can release too much oil and make the fudge difficult to spread. Process only until a moist, sticky consistency is achieved.

What are maca and mesquite powder, and are they essential?

Maca and mesquite powder are superfood ingredients added for their unique flavor profiles and nutritional benefits. While they enhance the fudge, you could omit them if unavailable, though the taste would differ.

How should I store this raw Brazil Nut Fudge?

After setting in the freezer for an hour, the fudge should be stored in the freezer to maintain its firm texture and freshness.

How to Prepare Brazil Nut Fudge [Vegan, Raw]

In a food processor, combine the Brazil nuts and almonds. Process until a flour-like texture forms.
Add the pumpkin seed butter, dates, cacao powder, maca, mesquite, vanilla, and coconut sugar. Blend well until moist and sticky.
Add the banana and salt and process again to combine.
Be aware that over processing will bring out the oil in the nuts and make the fudge hard to spread. Just process as needed.
Transfer the mixture onto parchment paper and use a spatula to spread it about 2-inches thick. If you would like a thicker fudge that’s fine. It will just yield fewer pieces.
Once it’s spread, score the fudge into even squares and place in the freezer. The fudge should be set in one hour. Top with cacao powder and serve.
