Prep:
25 minutes
Cook:
40 minutes
Cool/Chill: 3 hours
Ingredients:
1/4 cup pitted dried dates
One 15-oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
1/3 cup canned pure pumpkin
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup (about 2 large) egg whites or fat-free liquid egg substitute
2 tbsp. coconut flour
2 tbsp. Truvia spoonable no-calorie sweetener (or another natural brand about twice as sweet as sugar)
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 oz. (about 2 tbsp.) chopped almonds
1/2 cup mini marshmallows
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8" X 8" baking pan with nonstick spray.
Place dates in a small bowl with 1/2 cup warm water. Soak until softened, 5 - 10 minutes.
Drain excess liquid from dates, and transfer to a food processor. Add beans, cocoa powder, pumpkin, applesauce, egg whites/substitute, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, vanilla, and salt. Puree until completely smooth and uniform.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave chocolate chips at 50 percent power for 1 1/2 minutes, or until melted.
Add melted chips to food processor, and puree until completely blended.
Fold 1/4 oz. (about 1 tbsp.) almonds into batter. Spread batter into the baking pan, and smooth out the top. Bake until a toothpick (or knife) inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, 30 - 35 minutes.
Top with marshmallows and remaining 1/4 oz. (about 1 tbsp.) almonds. Bake until slightly melted, about 3 minutes.
Let cool completely, about 1 hour.
Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 2 hours. (This fudge tastes best when chilled overnight; it's even good slightly frozen!)
