Method

You’ll need: blender · chopping board · knife

1. Stone the dates, soak them briefly in warm water, then squeeze them out well.
2. Put the dates, peanut butter, cocoa powder and sea salt in a blender and blend everything into a thick, sticky mixture.
3. Roughly chop the hazelnuts and knead them into the chocolate mixture so it keeps some bite.
4. Press the mixture into a small tin and smooth the top.
5. Chill the fudge in the freezer until it's firm enough to cut.
6. Cut the cold vegan date and chocolate fudge into small squares and serve straight away or slightly thawed.
