A rich, creamy salted caramel fudge made with just five simple ingredients—dates, nut butter, coconut oil, vanilla, and salt. Naturally sweetened, freezer-friendly, and unbelievably delicious. This viral treat is the easiest holiday dessert you’ll make all season.
Ingredients
- 8 oz dried, pitted dates
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 cup almond butter or other nut/seed butter of choice
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt + more to top
Instructions
- Soak the dates: Add dates to a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let them soak for 5–10 minutes to soften. Melt the coconut oil in the meantime.
- Blend the fudge: Drain dates and transfer them to a food processor. Add melted coconut oil, nut/seed butter, vanilla, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides.
- Shape: Press the mixture into a parchment-lined loaf pan. Smooth the top and finish with flaky sea salt if you’d like.
- Freeze: Freeze for 4–5 hours, or until firm and sliceable.
- Serve: Cut into bite-sized squares and enjoy! Store extras in the freezer.
