Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups raw cashews
  • 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4-1 /2 cup real maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 12 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • Sea salt, for sprinkling

Method
 

  1. Soak the raw cashews in hot water for at least 30 minutes. Drain well.
  2. Line a 9x9 inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
  3. Combine drained cashews, coconut milk, cocoa powder, instant espresso powder, vanilla extract, and maple syrup in a high-powered blender. Blend until smooth and creamy (about 5 minutes), scraping down sides. Taste and add more maple syrup if needed. Pour into the prepared pan.
  4. Drizzle peanut butter over the fudge layer. Swirl lightly with a knife. Freeze for at least 3 hours until firm. Cut into 16 approximately 2.25-inch square bars and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for another hour.
  5. Melt dark chocolate and coconut oil together in the microwave until smooth. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  6. Dip or cover each frozen bar in the melted chocolate. Sprinkle with sea salt immediately. Freeze again until firm before serving.

Notes

- Use good quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
- Ensure your cashews are soaked well for maximum creaminess.
- For a cleaner swirl, slightly warm the peanut butter before drizzling.
- Keep these bars frozen for the best firm texture.
