Recipe: Raw Vegan Chocolate Fudge inspired by Lotus Fudge

I recently traveled to Kauai, Hawaii, and one of my favorite new foods from the island was Lotus Fudge. I brought back their fudge mix and loved it so much that I decided to try my hand at the recipe. What follows is my version of their delicious raw vegan fudge.

• 1/4 c. cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp + 1 tsp carob powder
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 3/4 c. coconut oil
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 3/4 c. agave nectar

Steps:

1. Mix together cocoa powder, carob powder, and sea salt.
2. Whisk in melted coconut oil and and vanilla, until no lumps remain.
3. Add in agave nectar and stir until mixture thickens.
4. Pour into molds, such as a cupcake pan or mini cupcake pan.
5. Refrigerate 2-4 hours, or until firm.

Variations:

• Mix in shredded coconut, chopped nuts, and/or mint extract.
• For an adventurous twist, try adding a bit of chili powder and/or cinnamon.

Note: The original Lotus Fudge recipe is from the Blossoming Lotus restaurant that used to be on Kauai (until it closed). If you're lucky enough to be in the Portland area, you can still stop by their Portland restaurant. If not, they also offer a variety of cookbooks.
