THE EASIEST COCONUT OIL FUDGE YOU’LL EVER MAKE!

THE EASIEST COCONUT OIL FUDGE YOU’LL EVER MAKE!
Super-Easy-Coconut-Oil-Fudge
BY ELIZABETH WALLING







Coconut is fast becoming one of my favorite real food products. Now, I’ll be perfectly honest: I usually buy expeller-pressed (refined) coconut oil. Frankly, I find this allows me to use coconut oil more often since it has virtually no taste. I mean, no offense to the almighty coconut, but I don’t want coconut-flavored scrambled eggs. So we all get a hefty dose of coconut oil every day without necessarily getting a hefty dose of the flavor.

But don’t get me wrong: I love coconut. Coconut flour, fresh coconut, dried coconut, coconut water–it’s all good. And when you combine coconut and chocolate together… well, it’s nothing short of heaven on earth. So I’ve been hunting around and tweaking coconut fudge recipes until I came up with the simplest one-step recipe I’ve ever found. Bonus? It tastes freakin’ awesome.


THE EASIEST COCONUT OIL FUDGE YOU’LL EVER MAKE
1/2 cup virgin coconut oil
1/2 cup organic cocoa powder
1/4 cup raw honey
dash of vanilla (optional)

Mix ingredients in a medium glass bowl until smooth. Spread into a small glass container (a 6 x 6 square worked for me) and refrigerate until solid (about an hour). Cut into squares and savor every bite!


Tips for this recipe: This time of year my coconut oil is soft enough to mix straight into the recipe. Come wintertime, however, coconut oil may need to be gently melted first.






Easy variations: You can get creative with this recipe and add shredded coconut, almonds, or walnuts as desired. Have fun with it!

The ingredients in this recipe will separate if you pour it into the dish while still warm. The honey ends up on the bottom and the oil floats to the top. To get around this I put the mixing bowl into the fridge after combining the ingredients , then I stir every 30 secs or so til the mixture just starts to thicken enough to hold everything in suspension. Quickly pour into your prepared tray , smooth down and pop into the freezer to set.
A yummy variation a la “Chocolat” the movie…try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mix

I think you meant 1 tablespoon of “water” right? I make a recipe much like this. And I see you amended the recipe to say 1cup of walnuts. My recipe says to cook the water and sugar to a boil in a sauce pan and to boil for 2 minutes before adding the walnuts. Then they are placed on cookie sheet to bake for 10 minutes at 325 degrees.

Ooooh, thank you for sharing this recipe!!! I can’t wait to try it out. I am a huge fan of the unrefined coconut oil and use it for all sorts of stuff. And raw honey is the only way to go, too!! It is tradition to make the fantasy fudge recipe–the one with marshmallow cream–every December, but it is sooooooooooooo bad for you. So, can’t wait to try this out!

It’s generally more expensive to make chocolate! To make real chocolate you don’t use coconut oil, you use cocoa butter and cocoa powder (or cacao versions which are less processed if you want to get really authentic)and a sweetener like ricemalt syrup. I bet this recipe would work well as an ice magic alternative; pour over icecream and it will set. Much healthier than the vegetable oil crap in the bottle

How can you eat too much coconut oil! I made this the other day with half the amount of honey and LOVE IT! I really need to boost my CO intake, so this ought to help. I’ve been sharing the recipe with my friends and sending them this way

Amazing fudge! I snuck 1 tsp. of butter (I couldn’t help myself) and a pinch of sea salt into it. It’s addictive! Thank you for such a fast and easy recipe!
