Does this seem feasible?
Here is the original recipe:
2 medium avocados
1 small banana over ripened
2/3 cup coconut oil measured melted
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1 tsp pure peppermint extract
Pinch of salt
3-4 tbsp cacao nibs optional
Looking to replace the avocado with sweet potato, the mint with vanilla, and the nibs with chopped and blitzed nuts.
I'll also be adding a little cinnamon
Basically just using the avocado recipe as a starting point.
Go for it. It’s a free country brother.
I wouldn’t consider it fudge but it’ll definitely be delicious. Are you planning to use previously baked/roasted potatoes?
I just have some sweet potatoes hanging about. I'll steam or mash them. The recipe is essentially "puree it all together and poor into pan, then freeze/cool
I will hopefully. Realized I'm out of maple syrup.
I was moreso asking if there was some kind of fatal flaw my idea.
I've decided I'll also sub the banana for pumpkin puree
Yeah sounds pretty cool. Make it and post results here.
Sounds like shit id see at a local farmers market in the trendy millennial area of my city selling for $11 a bar
Update: just blended it all together. I used honey instead of maple syrup. I will be letting it freeze for three hours. Used half a can of pumpkin puree and a whole sweet potato
The combined puree tasted pretty good. Pumpkin taste was strong but the sweet potato and honey were still there.
Topped the mix with blitzed pecans
It won't be the same. Avocado is way more fatty and less watery. Make sure you get as much water as possible out of your sweet potatoes and add extra oil.
I bet when this is frozen it won't be like fudge, it'll be Frozen like a fricking rock because of the water/fat issue
This is why I asked for suggestions prior. No matter, nothing to be done about it. I boiled the potatoes and mashed them before the blending, so we'll see
Tee hee, it's got another 85 minutes to freeze
>yes, I know I poorly spread the nuts, I was in a hurry
where is it op
Right here
Thankfully, it was not rock hard. Too the contrary, for storage, it must be kept frozen, I can already tell. I was able to cut it with a butter knife
>In summary
Kind of fudge? Semi-ice cream bar-like texture
Pretty good
nice. Recipe saved good thread
Glad to be of help. I used virgin coconut oil, just in case that should matter
Looks bretty good, I bet a banana version would be tasty.
Sounds nauseatingly sweet. You should definitely give it a shot, anon!
Already done, Anon. See here.
I would not say it's overly sweet. Moreso a good mix of savory and sweet. I could have added a full tsp of cinnamon, I think. I only eyeballed a half tsp.
I don't get why you'd use avocado. If you're being a vegan I'd use cashew or almond butter or whatever for this. Sounds like a recipe that's better if you didn't know the ingredients.
>OMG AND IT'S VEGAN
I dated a fake vegan and fake lactose intolerant chick for a while, its exhausting.
I saw the one thread somebody posted here about avocado and chocolate smoothies. I got to thinking
>I have vegetables, don't I?
So I googled avocado desserts, realized my avocados were bad, then subbed for sweet potatoes and flavors that made more sense for sweet potatoes
I know u already made them, but peppermint? What in the world? Idk would almond have not been better or something? And maybe some more nuts/nut oil?
The original recipe was a chocolate mint-type thing. As I said, I substituted the peppermint extract for vanilla
