Chocolate Fudge Icing**
Chocolate fudge icing is a delectable topping made with wholesome ingredients, featuring Medjool dates for natural sweetness and a sticky texture, offering fibre and various vitamins and minerals. Including raw cacao powder, rich in antioxidants, provides an intense chocolate flavour. At the same time the nut butter, contributes creaminess, richness, and healthy fats to the frosting, ensuring a smooth texture. A small amount of plant-based milk, like almond, soy, or oat milk, might be added to adjust the consistency and creaminess.
Ingredients
- 1 cup boiling water
- ⅓ cup raw cacao powder
- 1½ cups dried dates pitted
- 3 tbsp almond butter
- 2 tbsp almond milk
- ½ tsp vanilla essence
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to the blender for 30 seconds, then scrap the sides and keep blending in small increments to get a smooth consistency.
- Move the mixture to an airtight container and place in the fridge to set.

Notes
**The exact amounts can be adjusted according to taste and texture preferences. When making this type of icing, it's often best to start with smaller quantities of the additional ingredients (like cacao powder, nut butter, and plant-based milk), gradually adjusting and blending until you reach the desired taste and texture.
