Ingredients
Chocolate Fudge
- 2 cups dark or semi-sweet chocolate , finely chopped*
- 1/3 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1/4 cup almond butter , smooth
- 1 Tbsp. maple syrup
- pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Set up a double boiler. Add a few inches of water to a medium saucepan and top it with a stainless-steel bowl slightly larger than the circumference of the saucepan. The bowl should create a seal with the bottom saucepan to trap the steam produced by the hot water. Ensure the bottom of the bowl isn't touching the water - this would cause the chocolate to get too hot. Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Once the water is hot, turn the heat to the lowest setting.
- Mix the ingredients. Add the chocolate, coconut milk, almond butter, maple syrup, and salt to the stainless steel bowl set over the saucepan and melt the chocolate, stirring constantly, until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a pan. Transfer the chocolate fudge to a parchment paper-lined baking dish (I used a 6.5 x 6.5 inch/16.5 x 16.5 cm glass container) and smooth it out by gently tapping the dish against the kitchen counter a few times.
- Chill. Transfer the fudge to the refrigerator to firm up, for about 2 hours. Once firm to the touch, remove the fudge from the baking dish (by lifting the parchment paper) and cut it into squares. If the fudge is too firm to cut, let it thaw slightly and/or run your knife under hot water for easier cutting.
- Store. Leftover fudge keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For longer-term storage, freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
Notes
*The fudge will be as sweet as the chocolate you use. The amount of maple syrup in the recipe isn't enough to sweeten the chocolate.
