Carob Vegan Avocado Fudge
This is a cheat.
Ingredients
1 ½ C vegan semisweet carob chips
2 Tbsp vegan margarine
¼ C unsweetened carob powder
1 ripe avocado (about 1 ¼ C)
1 tsp vanilla powder
3 C powdered sugar (Cheat)
½ C chopped walnuts
Preparation
Set aside a parchment lined 9-inch square metal baking pan so the paper ends hang over the edge of the pan.
In a saucepan, combine the carob chips and vegan margarine; melt over low heat. Stir in the carob powder. Peel and pit the avocado, and puree in a blender. Add the carob mixture and process until smooth. Add the vanilla and half of the powdered sugar, processing until incorporated. Add the remaining powdered sugar a little at a time, to form a stiff dough. Fold in the chopped walnuts. Smooth the mixture into the prepared pan, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, until firm. To serve, grip the parchment paper and lift the fudge from the pan. Transfer to a cutting board and discard the parchment paper. Cut the fudge into 36 pieces.
