Recipe Directions
- 1. Place cashews alone in your food processor and process until they become small and crumbly. You are making flour out of cashews!
- 2. Add dates to the cashews and process again until the mixture sticks together and the dates are well processed.
- 3. Add the remaining ingredients and process again until the mixture turns a lovely dark chocolatey brown. Stop processing before it gets too buttery. (There should still be air between the small bits so that you will be able to press them down into your pan.)
- 4. Dump the mixture into a brownie dish or small cake pan and press down very firmly using your clean hands.
- 5. Throw this raw almond pulp fudge recipe into the freezer for at least one hour. This fudge should always be kept in the freezer. Slice before eating and eat right out of the freezer. They won't turn rock-hard. They will be nice and chewy. Do not refrigerate or defrost.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian This recipe is only for those of you who have leftover almond pulp from making almond milk in your blender. (If you do not have leftover almond pulp, then do not bother making this recipe! Make my regular raw brownie recipe instead.)
For an even more delightful fudgey dessert, ice the fudge with raw chocolate icing before freezing. (Not necessary though, still very good without the icing.)

I have a couple of cups of frozen almond pulp from making almond milk. Can I still use it?

Trudy, yes, just make sure to defrost it first (put in fridge)

hey, can you use something else other than dates?
The Rawtarian
Jul 08, 2013
Hi Megan, yes you can use raisins or dried prunes (or a combo of them both) instead of the dates

I made this recipe tonight for the second time, and thought I would experiment a little. I added raw cacao nibs and peppermint extract for mint chocolate fudge!!!! It turned out amazing!!!! Thanks so much for all your amazing recipes. :)

Laura-Jane, thank you! For years I have eaten junk food and a friend introduced me to your website and the food looked so divine that today I went to the health shop, stocked up on nuts etc. and have just made your choc pudding with chia seeds and your brownies using left over almond meal from the nut milk I made for the first time. I cannot believe how amazing both these dishes taste! I am a total convert, no more junk food for me! My body is sighing with relief :). I can't wait to try out more of your recipes. Thank you for the contribution you are to the world. How does it get any better than that?

Make these all the time now but ran out of cashews so swapped for hazelnuts, and then added some orange zest and juice and a spoon of coconut oil. Just chucked in freezer but its looking good!!!

Hi, I had a quick questions. I was wondering if I can omit the dates, or can I replace it with anything?
Thank you! Reading all these amazing reviews is getting me excited to try this out! :) Going to attempt making my own almond milk tomorrow and this sounds like a great use for the left over :)

Hi Amina, The dates are used for both sweetness, stickiness and texture. So they must be replaced by something sweet and sticky - dried prunes are the best substitute, but raisins can work too.

These went over well at dinner. I cannot use coconut either, so I used the extra cashew. I also used raw yakon syrup as I had that on hand. My German mother in law was even impressed. Keeping this recipe! Thanks for sharing!!

Lol glad your German MiL was impressed! That sounds like success :)

Just came across you site looking for things to do with my growing supply of almond pulp (recently started making Almond milk for my son and he loves it) Looking forward to making this this but have a question. I have a "budget" food processor that only has a couple of blades. One is a slicer and shredder type and the other is a standard "S" blade. Will this work. I did't have much luck with it when i tried something last week ...just got a big dough ball stuck to the side and no matter how much I prodded it with the spatula, it just got whipped to the side again. :o( Also, will a "bargain" blender work for your raw chocolate icing or do I really need the power of a high-high speed one? Thank you so much. Love your site!!!

Hi Mel, great questions!
1. S-blade should do the trick! It definitely depends on the recipe. I think this recipe should be fine if you follow the directions. My food processor is actually pretty crappy too (I have this one: http://tinyurl.com/avdwva4 )
2. Bargain blender for the icing: yes, it'll work. If your dates are really hard, try soaking them in warm water for 45 minutes first. Then pat/squeeze them dry and blend in the recipe. (This will soften them and make them easier for your blender to blend.) But make sure not to let too much extra liquid get in the recipe, because it'll change the consistency if you're not careful
Hope this helps!

Awesome. Thank you. I started with the Superfoods Brownie and the S blade worked there. I recently ordered a Nutribullet (the economy Vitamix ha ha ha) and will give the icing a go once it arrives. I used up my kitchen gadget budget on an Excalibur dehydrator, so for now, other than the Nutribullet ... I'll be making due with the "budget appliances") Loving your site and your recipes. First time EVER I'm not hopeless in the kitchen. Maybe I never learned to cook because I do better with Raw. Thank you for making it possible!

I made some almond milk and I had A LOT of left over pulp. I put it in the fridge for a day and some of it dried. I came across your page and I had everything in my pantry for this recipe so I tried it and I LOVED IT! I'm tempted to eat it ALL, that is unless my husband eats it all before me. I couldn't cut it as neatly as you, so I'm going to possibly put it on wax paper next time so it's not sticking to my pan. I didn't dehydrate my pulp until today, is that why it's sticky? Either way, it's delicious. Next time I'm making a larger batch and sharing with family and friends. Thank you for this recipe! I'll be sharing it on my blog shortly, all credit to you!

Hi Zoi, so glad you enjoyed it! It's a great way to use up almond pulp. I don't actually dehydrate my pulp at all in this recipe! Also, I didn't cut it until it was frozen, so that may have had something to do with it too. Hope this helps!
Zoi

You were right, as it had more time in the freezer, it was easier to cut. I still have a lot of almond pulp leftover, looking around the internet for some suggestions. Would you have any? I'm reading mixed reviews about making almond butter with it, have you ever done that?
Your site is amazing and bookmarked! I wanted to make it again and realized I had no more cashews, so I made your raw brownies and icing instead. It's in the fridge as we speak. If I don't have cashews, can I substitute it with something else? Sorry, so many questions! I eat healthy, but new to the dairy/egg free desserts. It really interests me and I enjoy it! Thanks so much. Just downloaded your iphone app! Have a pleasant Sunday!

Hi Zoi, Interesting idea. I've never tried to make almond butter with it myself. I have a couple of other almond pulp recipes here: https://www.therawtarian.com/recipe-categories/raw-almond-pulp-recipes

Also, for this recipe you could use macadamia nuts or pine nuts instead of cashews. You could also use pecans instead of cashews. Hope this helps!
