Preparation

  • 1

    Cut the pumpkin into bite-sized pieces, discarding the seeds and pulp. Put into a pot of boiling water and cook for 10-15 minutes, until soft.

  • 2

    Now make the base of the fudge: Put the dates and cocoa powder into a strong blender and blend until smooth.

  • 3

    Add the other ingredients for the fudge base to the blender. Mix well.

  • 4

    Line a baking dish with parchment paper. Using moist hands, spread the fudge inside and flatten the top.

  • 5

    Put the fudge into the freezer.

  • 6

    Now make the pumpkin layer: Once the soft pumpkin pieces have cooled, put them and the other ingredients into the blender. Blend until smooth.

  • 7

    Smooth the pumpkin puree on top of the fudgy base. Put the baking dish back into the freezer and let it harden for at least 1 hour.

  • 8

    Once the pumpkin layer has cooled and hardened, melt the chocolate with a double boiler and spread it on top of the layered fudge. Wait about 5 minutes for the chocolate to solidify again. Now you can cut your chocolate fudge into delicious bites! Share it with friends for a treat, or keep it all to yourself if you’re the tricky type.
