Quick & Healthy Fudge – Dairy Free
Ingredients
- 1 cup fat coconut oil, Earth Balance, butter, or ghee I used 1/2 cup coconut oil + 1/2 cup Earth Balance soy-free buttery cubes
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder This is a KEY ingredient. Use a high quality cocoa. I like Dagoba
- 3/4 - 1 cup granulated sweetener to taste (I used xylitol, palm sugar, and some liquid stevia. Regular cane sugar will work too. Choose what works for you and your tastebuds.)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or other other flavor
- 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt to taste
- Optional add in's: natural corn-free peppermint candy canes crushed, chopped toasted nuts, tart dried fruits, cocoa nibs.
Instructions
- In a medium sauce pan over low heat, place all ingredients and whisk only until the fats are just melted and the sugar is dissolved.
- Pour into a parchment lined 8 x 8 inch pan. You could also use various candy molds for festive shapes.
- Chill in the fridge until firm and set, at least an hour.
- Cut into squares, or use some festive cookie cutters and enjoy!
