    Why you will love this recipe:

    • The flavour! This coconut fudge is perfectly sweet, melts in your mouth and has hints of refreshing mint. It reminds of mint white chocolate.
    • It's so easy to make and is a no bake dessert so it's perfect for summertime.
    • This fudge is healthy, gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free and can easily be made vegan too.
    • It stores well and freezes well so is great for meal prep.

    Ingredients and substitutions:

    • Raw cashews - these form the base of this delicious fudge while keeping it dairy free. Be sure to use raw cashews and not roasted cashews.
    • Coconut butter - when combined with the cashews this helps give the fudge the best texture and a delicious coconut flavour. Note that coconut butter is also known as coconut manna and coconut cream concentrate.
    • Coconut oil - this is used to help give the fudge its amazing texture.
    • Coconut milk - to add even more delicious coconut flavour. I recommend using full fat coconut milk rather than low fat which is too watery.
    • Honey or maple syrup - either of these natural sweeteners can be used to sweeten this fudge while keeping it refined sugar free.
    • Mint leaves - fresh mint leaves are used to give this fudge its refreshing mint flavour.
    • Vanilla extract - to help enhance the flavours of this delicious fudge.

    How to make (step-by-step):

    Step one:

    First, place all the ingredients into your food processor and blend until smooth.

    Step two:

    Line an 8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper and pour the blended fudge ingredients into the pan.

    Step three:

    Spread the fudge out into an even layer and then freeze the pan for 2 hours.

    Step four:

    Remove the pan from the freezer, let the fudge thaw for 5-10 minutes and then cut into pieces and enjoy.

    Top tips:

    • To make cutting this fudge easier, run the knife under hot water to get it warm before cutting it.

    Recipe variations:

    • To make this coconut fudge vegan: use maple syrup to sweeten it.
    • To make it higher in protein: add a few scoops of collagen peptides to the recipe.

    How to store:

    Store this fudge in the freezer in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.

    Frequently asked questions:

    Is this fudge paleo?

    Yes it is.
