Raw Fudge

- 1 cup medjool dates and a vanilla bean cut into pieces (soaked in just enough water to cover overnite to soften) 
- 3/4 cup raw cashew butter 
- 1 cup raw cacao powder (peel and dehydrate cacao beans then grind up to a powder) 
- 3/4 c. raw carob 
- 1/2 c. raw mesquite powder 
- 1 T. coconut oil  
- splash of agave nectar 
- pinch of salt

Blend all the ingredients in a powerful blender until it is a smooth batter. Line a glass baking dish with wax or parchment paper and pour on the batter. Freeze for a few hours, take out of freezer to cut into squares and put back into freezer. The next day its ready and kinda solid. It starts to get really gooey as it thaws so I just pull a piece out of the freezer when I want to eat one. Really yummy!

These are not exact measurements as I just tend to eyeball all the ingredients.
