Whipped up in less than 10 minutes, this Raw Black Bean Fudge has not only got a high nutritional profile, but it's the perfect healthy sweet treat when you need something a little bit decadent. Loaded with protein and fibre, black beans are a great vegetarian source to add into your diet, for sweet and savoury options. It's also a great healthy treat for the kids when they want something sweet after dinner instead of the marshmallows or chocolate biscuits. Best kept in the fridge or freezer.

    Yum!!!! I love this fudge. First time I tried making it I did it in the food processor. Second time I made it in the Nutri Ninja and it was REALLY good. Creamy.

      That’s a great idea Carolyn, I hadn’t thought of doing it in the nutri bullet as in ours, it sometimes has a little bit of texture. I’ll have to give it a go. Thanks!

    I’m sorry but I don’t have that information.

    I really like this recipe! It’s an excellent way to combine cacao and proteins. I have also made it with red kidney beans and Lima beans : always good.

      Thanks Sarah, you’ve reminded me to make it again, I had completely forgotten about it so I’ve just whipped up a batch and it’s in the freezer as we speak! 🙂

    I used kidney beans instead of black. Honey instead of maple syrup. And peanut butter instead of coconut oil. Turned out amazing!! Healthy snack to keep around for when the chocolate cravings hit

      Great changes! Black beans have got a higher nutritional value, but if you prefer red kidney beans, it’s a great swap.
