Carob Almond Freezer Fudge

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup virgin coconut oil, melted

1/4 cup creamy natural almond butter (roasted or raw are both fine)

1/4 cup carob powder, sifted

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted

2-3 tablespoons pure maple syrup (or liquid sweetener of choice), to taste

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/8-1/4 teaspoon fine grain sea salt

1/2 cup gluten-free rice crisp cereal (to add crunch – optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

Line a very small loaf pan (4″ x 8″) with plastic wrap for easy removal.
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl until smooth.
With a spatula, scoop the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth out.
Freeze for about 20 minutes, or until solid.
Slice into squares and enjoy! Store leftovers in a container in the freezer as it melts quickly at room temperature.
