Why I Love This Recipe

Sometimes you just need chocolate—now. And that’s where this 10-minute fudge recipe comes in. It’s ultra-satisfying, deeply chocolaty, and naturally sweetened with maple syrup or stevia. There’s no baking, no refined sugar, and no guilt.

Plus, the texture is rich and silky right out of the fridge or firm and snappy from the freezer. Either way, it melts in your mouth and keeps cravings at bay.

Ingredients

• ½ cup natural almond butter (or peanut butter)
• ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp maple syrup or stevia, to taste
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of sea salt
• Optional: 1 tbsp ground flaxseed or chia seeds for added fiber and omega-3s

---

Ingredient Notes & Swaps

• Nut butter: Almond butter has a milder taste, but peanut butter brings that nostalgic flavor. Use what you love.
• Sweetener: Maple syrup gives richness, while liquid stevia or monk fruit keeps it low-carb. Adjust to your preference.
• Coconut oil: A key ingredient—it helps the fudge firm up and supports healthy fat intake.
• Add-ins: Try cacao nibs, shredded coconut, or chopped nuts for texture.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Mix It All Together

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together almond butter, melted coconut oil, cocoa powder, maple syrup or stevia, vanilla extract, and sea salt until completely smooth.

2. Boost It (Optional)

Stir in flaxseed or chia seeds for an extra fiber and omega-3 kick.

3. Pour and Freeze

Line a small loaf pan or dish with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the pan and spread it into an even layer.

4. Chill Until Firm

Freeze for 30–45 minutes, or until the fudge is completely firm and set.

5. Slice and Store

Remove from the pan and cut into 12 small squares. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for a soft texture, or in the freezer for a firmer bite.

Tips for Success

• Use runny nut butter for best results; thick or refrigerated nut butter will be harder to mix.
• Let it set fully in the freezer before slicing—this helps keep clean edges.
• Taste before freezing to adjust sweetness or salt to your liking.
• Make a double batch and freeze extras for future cravings.
