Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Carob powder
- 0.25 cups Coconut oil
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.5 cups Walnuts, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Line a small 8x8-inch baking dish or container with parchment paper, leaving an overhang to easily lift the fudge out later.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil until fully liquefied.
Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the carob powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth and well combined.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
If desired, sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the top of the fudge for added texture and flavor.
Transfer the dish to the refrigerator and let the fudge set for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the dish, and place it on a cutting board.
Cut the fudge into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
