Phat Fudge...


Had a few requests for the recipe for these little nuggets of fatty joy!... One thing you should note however is that they are VERY calorific.. They might be made with "good fats" and provide an awesome little energy spike but fat is fat which comes with high calories at the end of the day so always remember to consume foods in accordance to your goals.. In other words don't munch the lot in one sitting!!...

Now this recipe makes ALOT.. By that I mean 3-4 ice cube trays full so adjust the quantities to however much you want to make.. And they won't be to everyone's liking either so might be worth making a small batch at first and seeing what you think.. Personally I love them and do well on a higher fat/lower carb diet so they are a perfect treat for me!..

Anyhow on with the show..

Ingredients:-

220g Kerrygold Unsalted Butter.
220g Coconut Oil or Coconut Butter. or a mixture of the two which is what I used.
200g Tahini.
2 Tbsp Cacao powder.
2 Tbsp Organic Honey.
1 Tbsp Ground Coffee.
2 packets/2 tsp Stevia or other sweetner.
1 tsp Vanilla Extract 
1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp Turmeric
1 tsp Cinnamon 

Method:-

Melt everything in a large saucepan on a low heat until it's combined well in liquid form.

Pour into ice cube trays or a large slightly greased baking tray and put in the freezer for at least 30 mins or until set.

I suggest you keep tasting the mixture as it is melting and adjust the recipe based on your taste preference. Some people may like the fudge a bit sweeter. Or if they are wimps may not like the heat from the Cayenne!!

Full of healthy fats and metabolism boosting ingredients these are little energy bombs and all you need are a couple for a pre workout boost or mid day pick me up!..

Enjoy!...
