Scale

Ingredients

  • 12 soft Medjool dates, pitted*
  • 1/2 cup organic tahini
  • 2.5-ounce 85% (or higher) dark chocolate, melted
  • 2 tablespoons softened coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • sea salt
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 2 tablespoons roasted and salted sunflower seeds
  • 2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, combine dates, tahini, chocolate, coconut oil, vanilla, and 2 generous pinches sea salt until a smooth ball forms.

  2. Pulse coconut and sunflower seeds into the mixture briefly until distributed evenly.

  3. Using a rubber spatula, scrape mixture in a parchment-lined glass rectangular container such as a 3-cup Pyrex container. Smooth fudge into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.

  4. Press bacon crumbles evenly into surface. Freeze for 1 hour until solidified.

  5. Slice and serve directly from freezer as the fudge softens at room temperature due to the coconut oil.


Notes

*Dates must be very soft before you puree them. If you do not purchase high-quality soft dates, you must soak your dates in warm water for 30 minutes prior to adding to the food processor.
