Clean Choc Nut Butter Fudge


This is for all you peanut butter lovers out there (and actually any kind of nut butter lover)!

This chocolate nut butter fudge is scrumptious. You can use any nut butter that you wish (peanut, almond, etc). I used the most delicious peanut butter ever...Pic's Really Good Peanut Butter that is made in my hometown, Nelson, NZ. This was  kindly shipped over to me especially on my birthday from the lovely Mrs Higgins!! Pic's Peanut Butter is made with 100% peanuts and nothing else. Heres the link if you would like to check it out:  http://picspeanutbutter.com/pics-products/

I used crunchy peanut butter because thats what i had in the cupboard and i like the crunchy texture but it is up to you what you use, smooth or crunchy both work well.

This fudge is another super easy recipe as there is no cooking required, only freezing. The recipe is done in two steps for the two layers and needs 20minutes freezing time in between each layer.

Ingredients

BOTTOM LAYER

1/2 cup of melted coconut oil
1/4 cup of raw cacao powder
3 tablespoons of raw honey
1/3 cup of chopped walnuts (or any other choice of nuts)
1 teaspoon of natural vanilla extract

TOP LAYER

1/2 cup of peanut butter (or any other choice of nut butter)
1/4 cup of melted coconut oil
3 tablespoons of raw honey
1 teaspoon of natural vanilla extract
A pinch of sea salt


Method

Line a small shallow dish with baking paper.

BOTTOM LAYER

1. Add all of the bottom layer ingredients together in a bowl and mix together.

2. Pour the mixture into the lined dish.

3. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes to set.

TOP LAYER

1. Add all of the top layer ingredients together in a bowl and mix together.

2. Once the bottom layer has set in the freezer for 20 minutes, pour the top layer mixture over the frozen bottom layer.

3. Place back in the freezer for a further 20 minutes to set.

Once set cut the fudge into small pieces and serve straight away or store in the freezer to eat at a later date. Make sure you keep the fudge stored in the freezer at all times because it melts quickly once out of the freezer.

Enjoy x

Massaman Fish Curry

I found this single-serve Fish Curry recipe on the I Quit Sugar blog and knew i had to make it! It is filled with lots of fresh veggies and only takes 30 minutes to cook, which makes this dish the perfect mid-week recipe.  I've just used the veggies i had in my fridge, you can add in any veggies you like.  Note: if using store brought massaman curry paste (or any curry paste for that matter) make sure you read the list of ingredients because they can be full of oil and sugar.  If the first ingredient is oil, then don't buy it, the first ingredient should be a flavour like onion, chilli or lemongrass. Also try to avoid pastes that use palm oil.  Ingredients 1 tablespoon peanut oil 1/4 onion (thinly sliced) 1/2  capsicum/pepper (thinly sliced) 1/2 carrot (thinly sliced - lengthwise) 1 tin (165ml) coconut milk 2 tablespoons massaman curry paste The juice from 1/2 a lime 2-3 drops fish sauce 150 g white-fleshed fish fillet, 1 cup of frozen peas  1 t
