Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 pieces
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup coconut oil
- ½ cup almond butter
- ½ cup sugar-free sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper overhangs on two sides for easy removal later.
- Create a double boiler by placing a heat-safe glass bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
- Add coconut oil to the glass bowl and allow it to melt completely, stirring occasionally to ensure even melting.
- Once the coconut oil is fully melted, add unsweetened cocoa powder and whisk until smooth and fully incorporated with no lumps remaining.
- Stir in almond butter, sugar-free sweetener, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is completely uniform and glossy.
- Remove the bowl from heat and continue stirring for an additional minute to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared parchment-lined pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly to all corners.
- Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles and create a smooth surface.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for approximately 2 hours, or until the fudge is completely set and firm.
- Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut into 16 equal squares using a sharp knife.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for the most intense chocolate flavor.
- Ensure your coconut oil is fully melted and smoothly integrated to prevent separation.
- Choose a sugar-free sweetener that doesn't have a bitter aftertaste, like erythritol or stevia blend.
- Use a double boiler method to prevent burning or scorching the chocolate mixture.
- Chill the fudge completely before cutting to ensure clean, crisp edges.
- For extra richness, you can add a tablespoon of heavy cream or use a creamier almond butter.
- Experiment with add-ins like chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips for texture variation.
- Always store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and consistency.
