Raw Food Treat: Cashew Fudge

food processorImage by Ian Fuller via FlickrThis recipe is a huge hit at potlucks and parties. It really hits the spot when you want a sweet chocolate munchie that's full of nutrition.

Wind's Raw Cashew Fudge

  • 2 cups raw cashew pieces
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla
Grind first three ingredients together in a food processor until fine. Add wet ingredients to dry and blend until a dough ball forms. Roll into balls or spread in a pan and refrigerate until very firm. Don't eat them all at once!

This recipe is healthier than probably 90% of the food out there, even though it's sweet and fatty and chocolate-y. All of those ingredients are on the lists of superfoods (well, maybe not salt or vanilla). We choose all organically grown and minimally processed ingredients, and we buy in bulk to save packaging and to get exactly what we need.

For those that follow the 80/10/10 Diet of Dr. Douglas Graham, there's probably enough oil in there for a whole day's consumption. For the Sunfood Diet Success System of David Wolfe, balance it out with plenty of greens. For those following the Natural Father Diet to End All Diets, eat up! It's simple homemade nutritious food that best fuels your active life.

  1. Hi Derek,

    I'd like to send you a link to Heartwood USA, a green kids cartoon I've produced, to see if you'd be willing to review it on Natural Father. If you're interested, email me at shane dot keats shift 2 gmail.com

    goddess of the garden: It's decadent. A vegan can sub agave nectar for honey, and you can skip the vanilla for the 100% raw treat. Most cashews are not technically raw, but it's close enough for us...
