Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Natural almond butter
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional, for texture)
Instructions
Line a small 8x8-inch baking dish or loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it with coconut oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil until fully liquefied.
Add the almond butter and maple syrup to the saucepan, whisking until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Sift the cocoa powder into the saucepan to prevent clumps, then stir continuously until fully incorporated and the mixture is glossy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt. If using chopped nuts, fold them into the mixture.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the dish in the freezer for 1-2 hours, or until the fudge is firm enough to cut.
Once the fudge has set, remove it from the dish using the edges of the parchment paper. Cut into bite-sized squares or desired shapes.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to a month.
