Pomegranates are in season and they are so very sweet.

It’s late and I have to prepare for tomorrow’s work.  But I will quickly share the healthy chocolate fudge that I made.  It is vegan, gluten-free, sweetened mostly by bananas, and it is truly delicious.  You won’t believe that it is also so easy to make and so healthy.

Healthy Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter Fudge

Ingredients:

1/4 cup peanut butter

1/4 cup ground fresh coconut meat or store bought coconut butter

1/4 cup cocoa powder (10g)

1 1/2 very ripe large banana

Pinch of salt

Sugar to taste if the bananas are not sweet enough

Preparation:

Blend all ingredients in a powerful blender.  Let it chill in the fridge or the freezer until firm enough to form the fudge to desired shape. 

I rolled the fudge balls in crushed granola bar and in pomegranate seeds to made it easier to pick up with your fingers.

Just drop the fudge ball one at a time into a large container (I used a small cooking pot with a long handle) with the granola bits and shake the container in a consistent and gentle round motion to coat the ball. I experimented with different shapes, but found the balls easiest for people to share.
