Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup carob powder
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g., almonds or walnuts)
Instructions
Line a small baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches) or loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat until fully liquid.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the carob powder until smooth and well combined.
Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Continue mixing until the ingredients are fully blended.
If desired, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Place the dish in the freezer for about 1–2 hours, or until the fudge is firm.
Once set, remove the fudge from the pan by lifting the parchment paper. Cut into small squares or rectangles using a sharp knife.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to keep it firm. Serve chilled or slightly thawed.
