Dark Chocolate Beetroot Fudge {Vegan}
Indulgent treats are popular during the winter months and most especially in December, but it's not just because of the holiday season but also because we often desire a treat to pick us up during the cold and gloomy months of winter. And, as far as I am concerned, sweets like fudge are simply delicious any time of year, especially when they are easy to make and keep well.
If you enjoy a few nuts in your fudge, then you'll definitely want to try this one. Finely chopped walnuts add a pleasant crunchy contrast to the rich and moist fudge that is sweetened with succulent medjool dates. The taste of beet is nearly imperceptible, but their addition does add a hint of sweetness and moistness. It's rather like a rich fudgy brownie, without the addition of flour.
Essentially no-bake, only the beet must be cooked ahead of time, either by roasting in the oven or boiling until fork tender. The chocolate is also melted in a small saucepan and then added into the food processor. This recipe is straightforward to prepare and the only slightly time-consuming elements are chopping the nuts finely, pitting and roughly chopping the dates, and having the patience to gently melt the chocolate over low heat so it does not burn. The fudge is stored in the refrigerator or freezer, and will last for a good while, especially if you decide to freeze it.
The best thing about this sort of sweet that I I usually have on hand is that they are homemade, quite often raw, satisfying and essentially good for you too, provided the urge to over-indulge is resisted. A few small nibbles of this rich fudge is all that is really needed to satisfy even the fiercest craving for chocolate.
