1. Blend cashews in food processor until finely ground. Add shredded coconut and process until well combined and fine in texture. Add pitted dates and process until a soft paste forms. Add cacao powder and pulse a few time to combine. Finally, add coconut nectar (if using cacao butter, add it now) and process until it’s a creamy texture, scraping down sides as needed.
2. Press half of the mixture into a small pan (8” x 10” – 20cm x 25 cm) lined with parchment paper.
3. Sprinkle a little coconut across base layer, then place raspberries down, then top with remaining fudge mixture.
4. Place in the fridge until firm while making ganache.
5. In food processor, blend together sweetener and coconut oil until well combined. Add cacao powder and pinch of salt and process until smooth, scraping down sides. Pour over fudge and spread until even.
6. Set in fridge for a few hours. Slice into squares and store in airtight containers in fridge or freezer. Delicious!!
