Raw Almond Pulp Chocolate Fudge Brownie Recipe - Eating Vibrantly (1)

Because if you don’t have almond pulp left over from making raw almond milk, then you simply can’t make this slice, and that would be a travesty.

Be warned though – you may find this raw chocolate fudge so addictive that you find yourself obsessing about it, like I have been all day.

Remembering the rich, chocolatey taste. The sticky, gooey texture. The dense, comforting sensation in your belly.

Wondering when you’ll next get a chance to have a piece. Wondering how many pieces you can eat in one sitting. Wondering if you can bear to share it with anyone else.

We make almond milk every day or two in our house, so I’m always on the lookout for recipes to use it up.

But I haven’t had much success with all the different recipes I’ve tried – they were either too much effort or the texture of the pulp was just all wrong.

In fact, I’d had so many flops that I’d actually given up trying recipes to use up our leftover almond pulp.

Until this.

I’ll admit, this raw chocolate fudge recipe uses an obscene amount of dates.

And a ridiculous amount of cacao powder. And yet surprisingly, it’s not that sweet.

You need to store it in the freezer to keep it firm, but it never truly freezes.

Happily, the perfect way to eat it is straight from the freezer (with your bare hands, while nobody’s looking…)

  • If you don’t have almond pulp leftover from making almond milk, then don’t bother with this recipe. Try a different raw chocolate fudge brownie recipe instead.
  • I actually doubled this recipe from The Rawtarian, because our almond milk recipe makes a full cup of almond pulp, so you can adjust the quantities up or down if you need to.
  • This fudge needs to be stored in the freezer. Don’t refrigerate it or defrost it. Trust me, it’s utterly edible straight from the freezer.
  • You could add chocolate icing, chocolate sauce, or even chocolate ice cream to this raw chocolate fudge brownie for an even more decadent dish.
  • You could double the recipe and turn this into anawesome chocolate mud-cake as well.

Time to go make some more almond milk, methinks.

Have an awesome day!
