Ingredients
Turmeric Fudge Base
- 2 cups raw cashews

- Pinch of fine sea salt
- ¼ cup organic cacao nibs for topping
Instructions
Turmeric fudge base:
- Line an 8x8 square baking pan with parchment paper.
- Place cashews in a food processor and process until very finely ground (it will be like an almond flour, maybe a little chunkier- just be careful to not over process the nuts into butter!)
- Add shredded coconut and process until well combined and fine in texture.
- Add the pitted dates and process until a soft paste forms.
- Add the turmeric and process again until well combined.
- Lastly, add the maple syrup and a pinch of salt and process to combine until it's a creamy texture -- you may have to scrape down the sides.
- Press firmly into lined pan.
- Place in fridge or freezer while making the ganache topping.
Chocolate Ganache
- In a food processor, blend together maple syrup and coconut oil until well combined.
- Add in cacao powder and a pinch of salt and process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Pour chocolate ganache over fudge base and spread evenly over the top.
- Top with cacao nibs.
- Cover loosely with wax paper and return pan to fridge to set and firm for at least one hour. (Overnight is fine too!)
- Cut into squares and Enjoy! Best served cold. Store in an air tight container in the freezer (my preference) or in the fridge.

I made this Yesterday and it was so good ? I added a layer on top of the ganache-maple syrup, coconut oil and peanut butter. My layer of ganache wasnt thick like yours and needed more gooey goodness. Thanks , T
