Fudge Ingredients

  • 24 ounces dark chocolate chips OR 24 ounces sugar-free chocolate chips like Lily’s brand you can find them here
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar or keto sweetener any will be fine
  • 1/4 cup organic unsalted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 can coconut cream
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt

Caramel Ingredients

  • 1 can coconut cream
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar or swerve brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter or coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Fudge Process

  • In a heavy bottomed pot, combine coconut cream, butter, and sweetener. Simmer for 15 minutes until reduced slightly. (This is your sweetened condensed milk. Alternatively, you can use canned sweetened condensed milk.)
  • Let cool for 10 minutes, then add chocolate chips and stir until shiny.
  • When everything is melted and shiny, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Working quickly, pour mixture into a small square pan lined with parchment paper (I used an 8×8″ pan)
  • Let mixture set for 1 hour before pouring caramel (if making). Let cool for 3 hours until slicing.

Caramel Process

  • In a heavy medium sized pot, melt coconut milk and coconut sugar over medium heat.
  • When mixture comes to a boil, turn down to a simmer and simmer for about 30-40 minutes, stirring every few minutes.
  • When mixture is thick and coats the back of a spoon, add the butter or coconut oil and cook for 5-10 more minutes until mixture is very thick.
  • Remove from heat and pour into a heat-safe bowl. Cool for 10 minutes and then pour, while still warm, pour on top of the fudge. 
  • Let set in fridge for 2-3 hours before slicing. Add a finishing salt, if desired. (I used Malden flake salt)
