Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Coconut oil
• 0.5 cup Coconut milk (full-fat, canned)
• 1.5 cups Vegan dark chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang. This will help lift out the fudge once it has set.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the coconut oil over low heat. Once melted, add the coconut milk and whisk until fully combined and smooth.

Step 3

Add the vegan dark chocolate chips to the saucepan, stirring continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Sift the cocoa powder into the mixture to avoid any lumps, and stir well until completely incorporated.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.

Step 6

Pour in the maple syrup and continue to stir until the mixture is thick and glossy.

Step 7

Gradually add the powdered sugar, whisking continuously to prevent clumps and ensure a smooth consistency.

Step 8

Once the mixture is thick and smooth, pour it into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until completely set.

Step 10

Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the overhanging parchment paper. Cut into 16 equal squares.

Step 11

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
