Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated erythritol
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup nut butter (almond or peanut)
- 1/2 cup refined coconut oil
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Workspace: Gather all ingredients and necessary tools such as mixing bowls, measuring cups, and an 8×8 baking dish lined with parchment paper to ensure a smooth workflow.
- Melt Nut Butter and Coconut Oil: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the nut butter and coconut oil and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the mixture is melted and smooth.
- Add Cocoa Powder and Erythritol: Whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder and granulated erythritol until the mixture is fully combined and thick but still pourable.
- Incorporate Vanilla and Salt: Stir in the pure vanilla extract and salt thoroughly, making sure there are no dry spots left in the mixture.
- Spread in Baking Dish: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula for uniform thickness.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the mixture for at least one hour until it is firm. Once set, cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- Use refined coconut oil for a neutral flavor to keep the fudge tasting balanced.
- Choose almond or peanut butter depending on your preference; natural, unsweetened nut butters work best.
- Store the fudge in the refrigerator to maintain firmness.
- For a different texture, you can add chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips before refrigerating.
- Ensure mixing is thorough to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth fudge consistency.
