This Clean Eating Raw Walnut Fudge has to be the most easy raw dessert recipe I have ever made using only 5 clean ingredients.
It seriously takes longer to get all the ingredients out than it did to make it.
You basically put everything in a bowl, stir it and put it in the freezer to harden.
And it almost melts in your mouth it’s so silky smooth and it has a nice glossy look to it.
Here are some typical ingredients in a traditional fudge recipe:
S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) Fudge Recipe Ingredients:
Typical Ingredients: 2 3/4 cups sugar, 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, 3 tablespoons butter, 1 cup half-and-half, 1 tablespoon corn syrup, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, 1 cup chopped roasted nuts
It normally contains a lot of refined, white sugar. And, butter and dairy, making it non-vegan. Plus, you have to heat, cook, boil, use a candy thermometer, etc.
This healthier version is raw, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, no-bake, paleo-friendly, lectin-free and contains no refined sugar.

Tip #1: Make sure you keep the fudge in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to serve because it will become soft and lose it’s shape if left out at room temperature.
Tip #2: If you didn’t need the recipe to be 100% vegan, you can substitute the maple syrup with organic raw honey or another liquid sweetener like brown rice syrup or raw coconut nectar.
