This Creamy Coconut Oil Chocolate Fudge is a delicious, low carb way to enjoy a treat! A perfect dessert for Valentine's Day or any occasion when you're just craving something delicious, but healthy.
Low Sugar Fudge
This has become one of my favorite treats.
While I like all the recipes posted on this blog, I don't make everything on a regular basis, usually because it can be a bit time-consuming in some way. Case in point, these Snickers bars.
I do, however, have a few favorites that are in constant rotation, most of them revolving around chocolate!
My Homemade Chocolate and this Sugar-Free Cookie Slice are regulars, as are these healthy fruit-based desserts.
Now added to the list...this fudge!
How To Make Coconut Oil Chocolate Fudge
When my husband and I were first married, and I was pregnant with Jade, we took a trip up to a small town in Arizona called Jerome.
It's one of those quaint towns where you'll find old, historical buildings, lots of kitschy gift shops, and a homemade fudge store.
While up there, we indulged in some of the best tasting fudge I've had! Sugar and butter, why are you so damn delicious?!
I never thought I'd be able to recreate something similar (I still love you bean fudge), but, for me, this comes awfully close, and it's healthy!
Please enjoy the following video showing you just how to make it!
Coconut Oil Chocolate Fudge
Ingredients
- 1 c coconut oil semi-solid
- ½ c raw cacao or cocoa powder
- 1 T honey
- 1 T maple syrup
- 2 t vanilla extract
- dash sea salt
- stevia optional
Instructions
- Place the coconut oil in a bowl.
- Using a hand mixer, beat the oil until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the remaining ingredients.
- Beat for another minute until all is well combined.
- Taste for sweetness, adding in a dash or two of stevia, if desired.
- Pour the 'batter' into a 7 x 5 inch Pyrex dish, making sure to smooth it out.
- Top the fudge as desired with nuts, dried fruit, or (my favorite) fleur de sel.
- Refrigerate until set, about 3-4 hours.
- Let sit out a couple of minutes before cutting and serving.
- Enjoy!

Notes:
I like to use this powdered stevia or this liquid stevia in this recipe.
This fleur de sel is delicious atop this fudge!

This fudge looks so good! That's such a clever idea to beat the oil with a hand mixer to get a nice consistency, I haven't tried that before. Yum!

This fudge sounds so good! I love the added gogi berries - makes it so pretty.
It's funny to hear you reminisce about the cute fudge shop. I honestly never liked fudge before going vegan, but this sounds like something I would actually enjoy. It sounds like a sweet treat without overindulging. I didn't get a chance to check out your video yet, but will give it a peek soon =)
Thank you so much for sharing this at Healthy Vegan Fridays - I'm featuring your recipe this week. I'm also pinning and sharing (and saving for later!).
Lauren
Thanks so much Kimmy! 🙂

Your fudge looks beautiful, Lauren! It's so nice to see a healthier recipe for fudge (why are sugar and butter so damn delicious!!??!) that still looks so creamy and delicious. I'll be featuring your post at this week's Hearth and Soul Hop. Thank you for being a part of our Hearth and Soul Hop community.

Wow Lauren! This fudge looks dreamy <3 the perfect healthy chocolate treat for Valentine's Day! I have fond memories of fudge during my first pregnancy too - I went through a phase of making caramel fudge, I think it was mainly sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar and butter 😐 you've got me thinking I should make a healthified version of that!
Angela

Lauren

This look highly addicting! I don't think I would be able to stop eating this!
Laura
This is a little different than my recipe for it. I'm going to try yours soon. Often, we drizzle a bit of peanut butter in ours to get a chocolate/pb swirl and my daughters love it! And I love them filling it with healthy fats!
Lauren
Oooo, the peanut butter idea sounds awesome!
