Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup carob powder
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond butter
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 0.3 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, letting the edges overhang for easy removal later.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil until it becomes fully liquid.
Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the almond butter, carob powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Stir in the sea salt and chopped nuts if using, ensuring an even distribution.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm enough to slice.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board.
Cut the fudge into 16 small squares and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
