Chocolate Nutella Fudge
(Gluten-free and no-bake!) (Plus it has absolutely ZERO added sugar and it can be made in 5 minutes flat!)
- 1/4 cup coconut butter, melted
- 1/4 cup choc-hazelnut spread or Healthy Nutella
- 1-2 tsp cocoa powder or cacao powder
- 65g very-ripe banana (about 1/4 a large banana)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- sweetener if desired (Some people want it, others don’t.)
Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender. (It’s best if the coconut butter is not solid, and if you use a frozen banana be sure to thaw so it doesn’t harden the coconut butter.) After blending, taste to see if you’d like to add any sweetener. Scoop into a container or even a little pie pan, and put in the fridge or freezer so it will firm up. This is freezer fudge, so it needs to be kept cold. It makes a small serving, but feel free to double or triple the recipe!

4. Beat the egg yolk and spread it on the border of the pastry circle with the jam on
5. Close the ‘waffle to be’ with 2nd pastry circle on top and press well on the edge, close the edge by using a fork
