Ingredients

• 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup organic raisins
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup raw walnuts, chopped

Instructions

1

Gently melt the chocolate chips in a small pan over low heat, stirring until smooth.

2

In a blender, pulse together the raisins, chia seeds, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until you have a thick and even paste.

3

Stir this paste into the melted chocolate until thoroughly combined.

4

Fold in the chopped walnuts for added crunch.

5

Spread the mixture evenly into a small glass baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

6

Place the dish in the freezer and chill until the fudge is set but not rock-solid, about 30 minutes.

7

Slice into squares and serve immediately. Keep any leftovers stored in the freezer.

Notes

Tips:
For best texture, allow the fudge to sit at room temperature for a few minutes after removing from the freezer before slicing. You can swap walnuts for pecans or almonds for a different nutty flavor. To enhance the lemon taste, add a pinch of lemon zest to the fudge mixture before freezing.
