Healthy fudge!!
I found this on http://www.thenourishinggourmet.com/...crmptious.html
The Easiest, Healthiest, Most Scrumptious Fudge Ever By the way, you can easily substitute with this recipe. Coconut oil works very well, but those less inclined to this oil could also use butter for a more traditional taste. Raw honey works very well ( though I find it almost a bit too sweet, so you may want to reduce the amount a little), and I bet you could use other forms of palm/coconut sugar (like the granulated form). I use a food processor, but I am sure that you could also use a stand or hand mixer. You can also easily double this recipe. 1/2 cup of virgin coconut oil 1/2 cup of cocoa powder 1/2 cup of coconut/palm sugar (the paste like kind) dash of sea salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1-In a heat resistant, glass measuring cup (pyrex), place the coconut oil. Fill a small saucepan with a few inches of water, and place the glass measuring cup in it. Heat on the stove top until the coconut oil is mostly melted (the coconut oil should be room temperature, not hot. This will protect it’s raw benefits). 2-In a food processor using the regular blade, add the melted coconut oil and the rest of the ingredients and mix until well combined. 3-Place enough plastic wrap or parchment paper in a loaf pan to cover the bottom and sides of the pan. Scrape your fudge “dough” into the loaf pan, and fold the plastic wrap or parchment paper over the top of the fudge. Gently press down, to even out the thickness of the fudge (you want it to be about 1/2 inch thick, it will cover probably about 1/2 of the bottom of your loaf pan). Take out the fudge, carefully wrapped up, and place in the freezer or refrigerator until it has set up. In the freezer it only takes about 20- to 30 minutes. 4-Cut into small squares, and enjoy! |

Re: Healthy fudge!!
We've made a very similar recipe a few times--it's very tasty! We've added peanut butter and pecans (soaked overnight and then dehydrated), coconut flakes, whatever. But, I always eyeball the recipe and it never comes out the same every time, so I'm glad for this one w/ measurements!
I've never heard of coconut sugar until just a few days ago . . . . is it expensive? |
