Ingredients
- 120 g cocoa butter
- 280 g cashew butter
- 40 g cocoa powder
- 120 g brown sugar
- 60 ml coconut milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Salt
- 100 g hazelnuts optional
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the melted cocoa butter, cocoa powder, brown sugar, coconut milk, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- Whisk over low heat until everything is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in the cashew butter until fully incorporated. Stir in the hazelnuts.
- Pour the fudge into a 2lb loaf tin lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours (ideally overnight) until firm. Once set, cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or in the freezer for up to three months.
- If freezing, separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter and replace hazelnuts with seeds or omit entirely.
