Unlike traditional fudge, which usually contains large amounts of processed sugar, butter, cream, chocolate etc. this recipe uses fruit (dates and bananas) and black beans! It has a little honey for additional sweetness and almonds for a bit of crunch!
It can be baked or left uncooked and simply frozen. A couple of pieces make a great snack, or add a scoop of fruit ice cream for a tasty dessert.
