Raw Cacao Fudge: Vegan and Gluten Free Fudge
Ingredients
  • 2 cups of raw cacao powder
  • 1 rough packed cup of coconut oil (when melted it measure to about ¾ c)
  • ½ cup of agave nectar plus 3 tbsp (could swap with honey or maple syrup for different flavor)
  • Topping of choice: browned unsweetened (low fat) coconut, chopped nuts, chopped dried fruit: we used 6 tbsp of unsweetened low-fat coconut
*Note: We have made this in the past measuring out coconut oil to hard pack 1 cup. This time we cut back. The result, pieces didn't cut as smoothly, and fractured a little more. If you'd like to make sure it's more firm, be sure to measure out to 1 cup, when melting. Taste was great with the lower amount though.
Instructions
  1. If using coconut topping: place in a small pan (like an omelette pan) and heat dry on stove until just slightly browned (about 5 minutes, but be careful not to burn it)
  2. Line an 8x8 or 9x9 pan with wax or parchment paper and pour coconut into bottom of pan, making sure to cover the bottom. If using crushed nuts/fruit, place these in at this time as well.
  3. Melt coconut oil in microwave in a glass bowl (takes about 30 seconds, but watch it)
  4. Add in cacao powder and agave nectar into bowl, and mix, making sure there are no clumps
  5. Pour into prepared pan.
  6. Freeze for about 2 hours until firm, and cut into small pieces. Return to freezer for storage in sealed container.
  7. Eat and get ready for some love :)
