Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
