Raw Peppermint Coconut Oil Fudge Recipe
Recipe Description:
Chocolate and peppermint is one of my favorite flavor combinations. If I want a quick, still somewhat nourishing, treat, this is what I whip up. No artificial anything, no standing over a stove to cook to softball stage and plenty of metabolic enhancing coconut oil. Did I mention that it's all raw?
Recipe
Instructions:
Prepare 2 small loaf pans or 1 large loaf pan (if using 1 large, fudge layer may be thinner) by lining the bottom and sides with parchment paper. This will make the fudge easy to remove later.
Heat about an inch or so of water in a saucepan. Place a glass mixing bowl on top of the simmering water and combine the cacao powder, coconut oil and honey. Stir until just combined. Try not to allow the mixture to heat. You want to keep everything raw, if possible. The melted mixture should be cool to the touch. Remove from the heat occasionally as you stir if you're afraid it's getting too hot. All we want to do is melt the coconut oil and honey enough for them to combine.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and peppermint oil.
Pour your fudge mixture into the prepared loaf pans and allow to cool in the refrigerator. You can place in the freezer to speed things up.
When cooled, remove from the pans and cut into small squares. If difficult to cut without cracking, allow to sit at room temperature a few minutes before cutting.
Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator or freezer. Makes great gifts!
