Avocado Chocolate Fudge Recipe

Introduction

This Avocado Chocolate Fudge is a rich, creamy treat that combines the healthy fats of avocado with the deep flavor of dark chocolate. It’s a simple, no-bake recipe perfect for anyone looking for a guilt-free dessert option.

Ingredients

• 40 g dark chocolate (about 4 squares, Lindt 85% recommended)
• 1 tablespoon coconut or almond milk
• 1 large avocado (or 1.5 medium avocados)
• Sugar-free or Paleo sweetener, to taste (20-25 drops stevia for sugar-free or 2 tablespoons maple syrup for Paleo)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Add the dark chocolate and coconut or almond milk to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
2. Step 2: Add the avocado to the chocolate mixture and mash together. Stir until well combined; small chunks of avocado are fine and the mixture does not need to be perfectly smooth.
3. Step 3: Stir in your chosen sweetener. Avoid granulated sweeteners to prevent a gritty texture. For a smooth fudge, use liquid stevia if low-carb, or honey/maple syrup for a Paleo version.
4. Step 4: Transfer the mixture to a fridge- or freezer-safe container. If the container is rigid, line it with parchment paper for easier removal. Chill in the fridge or freezer until solid. If the fudge is too soft after refrigeration, place it in the freezer briefly to firm up.

Tips & Variations

• Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
• Experiment with adding a pinch of sea salt or a splash of vanilla extract to enhance the taste.
• For a nutty twist, sprinkle chopped nuts on top before chilling.
• If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the avocado and chocolate mixture in a food processor.

Storage

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, keep it in the freezer for up to one month. To serve after freezing, let it thaw in the fridge for 15-20 minutes or at room temperature for a few minutes. Avoid reheating to maintain texture and flavor.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of chocolate?

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Chocolate Base

• 40 g dark chocolate (preferably Lindt 85%, approx. 4 squares)
• 1 tablespoon coconut milk or almond milk

Avocado

• 1 large avocado (or 1.5 medium avocados)

Sweetener

• Sugar-free option: 20-25 drops liquid stevia
• Paleo option: 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

1. Melt the Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate and coconut or almond milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
2. Add and Mash the Avocado: Add the avocado to the melted chocolate mixture. Mash and stir until the avocado is well incorporated, with small chunks being acceptable; it does not need to be perfectly smooth.
3. Incorporate the Sweetener: Add your choice of sweetener—liquid stevia for a low-carb, sugar-free option, or maple syrup for a Paleo-friendly taste. Avoid granulated sweeteners to prevent gritty textures and mix thoroughly.
4. Chill to Set: Transfer the fudge mixture into a fridge or freezer-safe container. For easy removal, line the container with parchment paper if using glass or a rigid container. Refrigerate or freeze until the fudge is solid. If the fudge remains too soft after refrigeration, place it in the freezer briefly to firm up.

Notes

• Using liquid sweeteners like stevia or maple syrup ensures a smooth texture without grit.
• If the fudge is too soft after refrigeration, freezing it for additional time helps to firm it up.
• Line containers with parchment paper for an easier removal of the fudge blocks.
• This recipe is naturally gluten-free and can be adapted for sugar-free or Paleo diets depending on the sweetener used.
