Fudge Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup nut butter (almond or peanut)
- 1 cup granulated erythritol
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup refined coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare Workspace: Gather all ingredients and tools including mixing bowls, measuring cups, and line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Melt Nut Butter and Coconut Oil: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the nut butter and refined coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder and granulated erythritol thoroughly until the mixture becomes thick but still pourable, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Flavorings: Stir in the pure vanilla extract and salt until fully combined and the mixture is uniform without any dry spots.
- Set the Fudge: Pour the prepared fudge mixture evenly into the lined baking dish and smooth out the surface with a spatula.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the fudge for at least one hour or until firm. Once set, cut into 16 squares and enjoy your sugar-free, homemade fudge.
Notes
- Use refined coconut oil to avoid a strong coconut flavor; virgin coconut oil can also be used but will alter the taste.
- Nut butter options such as almond or peanut butter work equally well; choose according to your preference.
- Ensure to line the baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- If the mixture is too thick to pour, gently reheat in short intervals to soften before transferring to the baking dish.
