Ingredients
- 50 g cocoa powder
- 125 g almond butter
- 100 g coconut oil
- 70 g maple syrup
Instructions
- 1Gather all the ingredients in a heat-resistant bowl.
- 2Gently place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water, to create a double boiler (bain-marie).
- 3Melt the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon, until all ingredients are perfectly combined and have a smooth, homogeneous consistency.
- 4Remove the bowl from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly before transferring it to a mold lined with plastic wrap, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- 5Place the mold in the refrigerator and let it set for several hours, or until the fudge is completely firm and easy to cut.
- 6Once well set, take the fudge out of the refrigerator, remove it from the mold, and cut it into small portions to enjoy.
Tips
- Be sure to use unsweetened cocoa powder for a deep, authentic flavor.
- Choose 100% natural and perfectly smooth almond butter for a creamy result.
- Warm your knife blade under hot water to get clean, sharp cuts.
- Maple syrup remains the best choice for an authentic taste, despite possible alternatives.
Substitutions
- maple syrup → honey (non-vegan option) — Will provide a more floral sweetness.
- maple syrup → agave syrup — Will offer a more neutral flavor.
- almond butter → peanut or hazelnut butter

Frequently asked questions
Can I replace the almond butter with another nut butter?
You can replace the almond butter with peanut or hazelnut butter. Personally, I find that almond butter pairs particularly well with cocoa and maple syrup.
Can I add nuts or other ingredients to my fudge recipe?
Absolutely! Walnuts, dried fruits, or even caramel bits can be delicious additions to your fudge. Just make sure to fold them in once the chocolate has melted and before putting the mixture in the refrigerator.
How long can I store the chocolate fudge?
When stored in an airtight container at room temperature, the fudge can last up to two weeks. You can also keep it in the refrigerator if you prefer it a bit firmer.
How do I know when my fudge is ready to be taken out of the refrigerator?
Your fudge should be firm to the touch and have a solid texture. This can take several hours, depending on the thickness of your fudge.
What is the best way to cut the fudge into pieces once it has hardened?
Use a sharp knife and heat the blade under hot water to make cutting easier. Ensure the fudge is completely chilled and firm before cutting it into pieces.
