80gDates (pitted)approx 5-7 medium/large dates
15gCoconut oil or 1 ½ tbsp

Add peanut butter and blend to combine.
Stir in the melted coconut oil.
Transfer into a lined container and freeze until firm (for approximately 2 hours). Cut into small squares, serve and enjoy!
Notes
Use high-quality dates: these will bring sweetness and a depth of flavor in the fudge. Make sure dates are pitted (or you have removed the pits/seeds before weighing and blending them).
Store in freezer: this recipe is for freezer-fudge. Make sure you store this fudge in the freezer for the best texture. At room temperature (or in the fridge) it will soften (like ice cream!).
Line container with parchment paper (baking paper or wax paper): before transfering the fudge mixture into a container ensure it is lined. This makes it easier to take out the fudge after it sets. You can also transfer fudge mixture into a small lined square pan. Loosely cover the prepared pan with cling film/plastic wrap before tranfering to the freezer.
Cut into small squares/pieces: Use a sharp knife to cut fudge into squares. You can carefully transfer the set fudge onto a cutting board before cutting into bite-sized pieces.
