4 medjool dates, whole, pitted
15 oz canned low sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp kosher salt
5 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
Place dates in a small microwave-safe bowl and cover with water. Microwave on High until water boils, about 2 minutes. Drain.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine dates, beans, cocoa, sugar, vanilla, and salt; process on high until well blended, about 1 minute. Drizzle with oil; process until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as needed, 1 to 2 minutes.
Line an 8-inch square baking pan with plastic wrap. Spread fudge mixture evenly into a thin layer in pan. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Lift fudge from pan with plastic wrap; cut into 6 rows each way to form 36 squares.
