Sugar-Free Cocoa Fudge Recipe
Let's dive into the world of cocoa, creativity, and guilt-free indulgence - Sugar-Free Cocoa Fudge Recipe
Equipment
- Microwave or stovetop
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
- 8x8-inch square pan
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Optional: chopped nuts or dark chocolate chips for added texture
Instructions
- Start by lining your square pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- In a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop, gently melt the coconut oil and almond butter together until they form a smooth mixture. Stir in the sugar-free maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add the unsweetened cocoa powder, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. This will result in a thick, glossy fudge mixture.
- If you want to add some texture, fold in chopped nuts or dark chocolate chips at this stage.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared square pan and spread it evenly. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the fudge has set completely.
- Once set, remove the fudge by lifting it out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut it into bite-sized squares.
