Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the baking dish: Line a small baking dish (approximately 8×8 inches) with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier once the fudge is set.
- Mix wet and dry ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, pure maple syrup, cooled strong brewed coffee, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sea salt until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Add walnuts: Fold in the chopped walnuts evenly throughout the fudge mixture to add texture and crunch.
- Pour mixture into dish: Pour the combined fudge batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly to ensure uniform thickness.
- Refrigerate to set: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm and set properly.
- Cut and serve: Once hardened, remove the fudge from the fridge, lift it out using the parchment paper, cut into 12 squares, and enjoy your delicious healthy coffee walnut fudge.
Notes
- You can substitute walnuts with pecans or almonds for a different nutty flavor.
- Ensure the coffee is fully cooled before mixing to prevent melting the coconut oil prematurely.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain firmness and freshness.
- This fudge is naturally gluten free and vegan.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your preference.
