Monica's Quick, Creamy, Delicious, Decadent Raw Carob Fudge
I just came up with this and didn't measure, so amounts are approximate. I'll repost once I get the exact measurements.
1/2 cup raw unsalted sunflower seeds
1/2 cup raw walnuts (preferably soaked and dehydrated)
1/4 tsp Celtic grey salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
1-2 TBLSP raw organic honey
1-2 TBLSP carob powder (I used toasted because I had it in the cupboard but when it runs out I plan to buy raw)
Process nuts, carob powder and salt in a food processor until it's granular. Stop just when it's beginning to turn into butter but don't let it get too oily. (Sorry if this seems vague...you'll see what I mean once you do it. Nuts tend to separate the oils if you over process. The idea here is to get creamy but not gooey.)
Add vanilla and honey. Process just enough to mix. You may have to scrape the sides every so often.
Spread into a dish and pat it down with a spatula so it's about 1" high. Enjoy!
YUM! Hardcore chocolate lovers might not like it but I thought it was yummy! Definitely satisfies the sweet tooth while being ridiculously healthy...lots of protein and healthy oils in those nuts and seeds!
I made it again with sesame seeds instead of sunflower seeds. I like it with sunflower seeds better. Cashews would probably work well, and pecans could probably be substituted for walnuts. I like to use walnuts because they have the most Omega-3 oils. It's important to get them fresh though, and make sure they're really raw. The walnuts in stores are often rancid. Bleh!

Note about Celtic salt: This salt has a very distinctive flavor, so I'm not sure how this fudge will taste if you use regular salt. I get my salt here:

Yes it's expensive but oh so healthy!
