I blended 1/2 cup cacao beans with 1/2 cup walnuts and 6 dates. I was going to make brownies or fudge but it seems so powdery I don't think it will set.

Any suggestions or ideas with what to do with it?

Add more dates.
or
Mix some into Green Smoothies.
or
Add flax seed and water and make a sweet cracker (then dehydrate).
or
Sprinkle over top of a fruit salad.

Add more dates.


Yeah I think you are right. I added a couple more dates and it became a little more sticky.

And then when you put it in the fridge or freezer, it will "harden" up.

There aren't any mistakes when trying to create raw dishes. They can always be transformed into other "things".

I've also found that just a touch of salt and some vanilla tastes great in the fudge recipes I've made. Some will also put a little coconut oil in it.

sometimes a little water or other liquid is needed.
