Ingredients
1 cup Medjool dates, pitted
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup nut or seed butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
Prepare Dates: Soak the pitted Medjool dates in warm water for 10 minutes to soften them. Drain thoroughly.
Blend Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the softened dates, pumpkin puree, nut or seed butter, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Line Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Transfer Mixture: Pour the pumpkin date mixture into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
Chill: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 120 minutes, or until it is firm to the touch.
Slice and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut it into squares and enjoy!
Notes
Ensure dates are soft for easy blending; soak if too firm.
