Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups unsweetened carob powder
- 0.5 cups coconut oil
- 0.25 cups honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 cups mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Once the coconut oil has melted, whisk in the carob powder until smooth and fully incorporated.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Roughly chop the mixed nuts and fold them into the carob mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm to the touch.
Once set, remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 squares or desired portions.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
