Chocolate & Fig Fudge
Line a small baking tin (about 11cm x 17cm) or similar container with baking parchment or a slim silicone sheet.
Place all the figs in a food processor and give them a quick whizz then add the remaining ingredients and blend to a smooth paste. (keep an eye on it, too much blending can split the mixture).
Check taste and add a pinch of salt if you think it needs it.
Transfer the mixture to your prepared tin and use a spatula to press it down firmly and evenly.
If you don't have a tin, you could roll the mixture into balls (you may need to firm up the mixture first by popping it in the fridge for 10 minutes before rolling out the balls).
Add which ever toppings you fancy and lightly press them into the mixture. Then chill or freeze your fudge (depending on how much of a rush you are in !).
Once the fudge is firm, you can cut it into squares and store in the fridge or freezer. They last for ages.
As with all my recipes you can get creative and use what you have to hand. For example you could swap the figs for dates and if you don't have tahini to hand you could try another nut butter, this recipe is very flexible and always tastes yummy.
