Ingredients
- ½ cup 112g refined coconut oil or coconut butter (coconut oil leads to a softer, more "melt in your mouth" fudge, but it needs to stay refrigerated. Coconut butter will give you a fudge that stays firmer at room temperature but has more coconut flavor)
- ¾ cup 72g cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-processed
- ¾ cup 192g creamy almond butter, or nut butter of choice
- ⅓ cup 104g maple syrup, can also use honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- ⅛ teaspoon salt optional
- Flaky sea salt optional
Instructions
- Line a small baking pan with foil or parchment paper - I used a 9x5” loaf pan for a thick fudge. You can use an 8” square pan if you want thinner pieces.
- Melt coconut oil or coconut butter in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave for about 30 seconds to a minute. Whisk in the cocoa powder, nut butter, maple syrup, and if using, vanilla extract and salt, into the melted coconut oil until completely smooth.
- Pour mixture into the prepared pan. Refrigerate until chilled and firm, about 2 hours.
- Using a sharp knife, cut into squares. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired. Store at cool room temperature or in the refrigerator.
