When pureed with cocoa powder, dates, vanilla, and coconut oil, black beans miraculously become fudge! Their flavor blends seamlessly with the chocolate-coconut notes, and they become smooth, creamy, and, well, fudgy. We soften the dates first by bringing them to a boil with water; this helps ensure they puree more easily. Be sure to purchase whole dates and remove the pits yourself, as they tend to be much softer and creamier than pre-pitted dates. Store the fudge in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to one month.

Ingredients

Dried medjool dates

4 item(s), whole, pitted

Canned low sodium black beans

15 oz, rinsed and drained

Unsweetened cocoa powder

½ cup(s)

Powdered sugar (confectioner's)

¼ cup(s)

Vanilla extract

2 tsp

Kosher salt

¼ tsp

Coconut oil

5 Tbsp, melted

Instructions

  1. Place the dates in a small microwave-safe bowl and cover them with water. Microwave on High until the water boils, about 2 minutes. Drain.
  2. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the dates, beans, cocoa, sugar, vanilla, and salt; process on high until well blended, about 1 minute. Drizzle with the oil; process until the mixture is completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed, 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with plastic wrap. Spread the fudge mixture evenly into a thin layer in the pan. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Lift the fudge from the pan with the plastic wrap; cut into 6 rows each way to form 36 squares.
  4. Serving size: 1 square
