A healthier twist on your classic chocolate fudge recipe, this 4-ingredient chocolate fudge is paleo, refined-sugar-free, and vegan!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Natural Almond Butter (no added salt, no added sugar)
  • 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon Cocoa Butter (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 3 tablespoons Maple Syrup (see note for options, keto included)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt (if nut butter unsalted)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Directions

  1. 1

    In a medium mixing bowl, stir almond butter with melted cocoa butter and maple syrup.

  2. 2

    When the texture is smooth, stir in unsweetened cocoa powder and optional ingredients if desired.

  3. 3

    Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan covered with parchment paper. Decorate with sprinkles on top if you like.

  4. 4

    Freeze for 15 minutes until the fudge is set and hard.

  5. 5

    Cut into 16 small squares and store in an airtight container in the fridge (if you use cocoa butter) or in the freezer (if you use coconut oil). The fudge softens faster with coconut oil. That's why it is better to store it in the freezer and pop it out of the freezer a few minutes before eating.
