Ingredients:

FUDGE

• 1 cup almond butter

• 1⁄4 cup coconut oil

• 1⁄4 cup cacao powder

• 2 tsp granulated monkfruit

• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1/4 tsp mixed spice

• Pinch salt

CROSS

• 3 tbsp (45 g) sugar free white chocolate

• 1/2 tsp coconut oil
  

Method:

1. Place all ingredients except for the white chocolate and second measure of coconut oil in a small saucepan. Set over a medium heat and cook, whisking, to allow the oils to melt and the mixture to form a smooth paste.

2. Pour into a lined loaf tin or small slice tin and refrigerate for 4 hours or until set.

3. To make the crosses, melt the white chocolate and coconut oil together - you can do this by heating in the microwave in 10 second bursts, stirring between each burst until melted, or on the stovetop.

4. Use a small spoon or piping bag to draw columns and rows across the fudge, to create 28 pieces (I draw 4 vertical columns and 7 horizontal rows). You can gently score the fudge with a knife first, to help guide you.

5. Place back in the fridge for 10 minutes, before slicing and enjoying chilled. Enjoy 2 pieces per serving. Store leftovers in the fridge.
