In this article, I will share a healthy, vegan, and satisfying Chocolate Protein Cashew Fudge recipe that requires less than 10 minutes to make and 5 ingredients. Let’s jump right in!

Ingredients for the Chocolate Protein Cashew Fudge:

• Cashew butter – One of the best sources of monounsaturated fatty acids, essential amino acids, and magnesium. Super delicious, too!
• Date syrup – Date syrup is packed with antioxidants and rich in minerals, vitamins & fiber. It is my favorite natural alternative to artificial sweeteners or sugars.
• Plant milk – You can use soy, oat, almond, hazelnut, etc.
• Protein powder – I used Form Nutrition to make the fudge satisfying and high in protein. I used their Superblend – Chocolate Salted Caramel flavor. You can order it for the US, or the UK, and Europe.
• Coconut oil

Storing

Alternatives

You can substitute cashew butter for peanut butter or almond butter. 

FAQ:

Can I use nut-free butter?

You can substitute the cashew butter for – sunflower seed butter or tahini (sesame seed butter). While it may change the texture and consistency of the fudge, it should work fine, too.

Can I use another liquid sweetener?

While I haven’t tried this recipe with another sweetener, I think it should work well with agave or maple syrup.

Can I avoid the protein powder?

Unfortunately, no. The protein powder is a crucial ingredient, essential for this recipe.
