Units
For the fudge:
- 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 6 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
- 16 almonds (optional)
Instructions
- Place coconut in the bowl of a food processor or a Vitamix. Process for 10-15 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl every few minutes, until coconut becomes a smooth butter (it will look like a thick liquid). Pour coconut butter into a mixing bowl and stir in cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla, almond extract and sea salt. Pour into an 8 x 8-inch baking dish that has been lined with parchment paper (mixture will be very thick). Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours until firm. Invert baking dish onto a cutting board, peel parchment off of the fudge and cut into squares. Press an almond into each square if desired.
