- 8 oz pitted Medjool dates
- ⅓ cup coconut oil
- ¾ cup coconut milk (or cream) (use the thick cream at the top of the can)
- 1 ½ tsp peppermint extract
- 8 oz semi sweet bakers chocolate dairy-free if desired
- Be sure to soak the Medjool dates in hot water for at least 15 minutes to soften them, which helps with blending. Keep the chocolate mixture on a gentle simmer when melting and stir constantly to avoid burning. Blend the dates and melted chocolate until completely smooth, pausing occasionally to prevent overheating your food processor. Line your pan with parchment paper for easy removal and store the fudge in the refrigerator; for firmer pieces, chill in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before serving.
