Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 16 pieces
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: 1 cup of almond butter, 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips. Ensure that the almond butter is smooth and creamy for the best texture.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and sea salt. Use a spatula or a whisk to mix the ingredients together until they are well combined and smooth. Make sure there are no lumps in the mixture.
- Once the mixture is smooth, fold in the dark chocolate chips. Stir gently to distribute the chocolate chips evenly throughout the almond butter mixture.
- Line an 8x8 inch (or similar size) square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later. This will prevent the fudge from sticking to the dish.
- Pour the almond butter mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use the spatula to spread it evenly across the dish, smoothing the top as you go.
- Place the baking dish in the freezer and allow the fudge to set for about 1-2 hours, or until it is firm to the touch.
- Once the fudge has set, remove it from the freezer and lift it out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the fudge into 16 equal pieces. You can adjust the size of the pieces according to your preference.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the freezer. It can be enjoyed straight from the freezer or allowed to soften slightly at room temperature before eating.
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for high-quality almond butter and dark chocolate chips. The smoother the almond butter, the creamier your fudge will be.
- Melt Coconut Oil Carefully: When melting the coconut oil, do it gently to avoid overheating. You can use a microwave in short bursts or a double boiler for a more controlled melt.
- Mix Thoroughly: Ensure that all ingredients are well combined to avoid any lumps in your fudge. A whisk or spatula works wonders for achieving that smooth consistency.
- Parchment Paper is Key: Lining your baking dish with parchment paper not only makes for easy removal but also helps maintain the fudge's shape when cutting.
- Freezing Time: Allow the fudge to set in the freezer for at least 1-2 hours. This will ensure it firms up properly, making it easier to cut into perfect squares.
- Storage Tips: Keep your fudge in an airtight container in the freezer. It can be enjoyed straight from the freezer or left out for a few minutes to soften slightly for a more indulgent texture.
