These really do have the texture and mouth-feel of good fudge. Tho they're less sweet, they're still nice to eat!
Ingredients:
1 cup cashew nuts, roughly chopped
1 cup plus a few more of dates, chopped
Begin by putting the cashews, about 1/4 cup at a time in your food processor, blender, or even coffee mill. Most of them will be ground into a greasy flour, but a few will try to stay whole. Put it in a bowl, picking out the whole nuts to be processed with the next batch.
Add the dates and mix to distribute evenly. Return 1/3 of the mixture to the food processor and pulse until it kind of holds together and the dates are chopped finely. Continue with the remainder.
Pick up a handful and squeeze it. If it crumbles it's too dry and you need to add more dates. Chop them and put them in the processor with some of the cashew/date mixture and pulse until they are ground and evenly mixed in.
Now form the mixture into balls of about 1 tablespoon (or whatever size and shape you prefer) and store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for a week or the freezer for up to 3 months. These are a great take-along snack because they are filling and no-fuss.
