Description
Rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced, these Decadent No-Bake Raspberry Almond Fudge Squares feature a chocolate-almond base topped with a bright, fruity raspberry layer. Easy to make, beautiful to serve, and irresistibly delicious.
Ingredients
For the Fudge Base:
1 cup almond butter
1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
For the Raspberry Layer:
1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (adjust for sweetness)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped almonds for topping
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, combine almond butter, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt. Stir until smooth and well mixed.
- Fold in rolled oats until evenly coated with the almond butter mixture.
- Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish to form an even base layer.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine raspberries, honey, and lemon juice. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until raspberries break down into a thick sauce.
- Spread the raspberry mixture evenly over the fudge base. Sprinkle chopped almonds on top if using.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm and set.
- Lift the fudge out using the parchment overhang, slice into squares, and serve chilled.
Notes
Use peanut butter or cashew butter for a flavor variation.
For a lower-sugar option, use sugar-free syrup or stevia.
Add a drizzle of melted dark chocolate before chilling for extra indulgence.
Use sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
Store in the refrigerator up to 5 days or freeze up to 2 months.
