Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (480 ml) pecan butter or any nut butter of choice
- ½ cup (120 ml/4 fl oz) coconut oil
- ¼ cup (60 ml/2 fl oz) maple syrup
- ¼ cup (60 ml/2 fl oz) chopped pecans
- 2 tbsps (30 ml/1 fl oz) cacao powder
- 2 tbsps (30 ml/1 fl oz) honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) sea salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Line a loaf or square pan with parchment paper, ensuring overhanging edges for easy removal.
- Melting Process: Combine pecan butter and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, heating gently and stirring until smooth and fully integrated.
- Mixing Stage: Incorporate maple syrup into the melted mixture, whisking thoroughly to create a glossy, uniform liquid with consistent texture.
- Setting Phase: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly with a silicone spatula to achieve a level surface and uniform thickness.
- Chilling and Solidifying: Refrigerate the pan for 60-90 minutes until the fudge becomes completely firm and achieves a solid, sliceable consistency.
- Serving Preparation: Extract the chilled fudge from the refrigerator using parchment paper edges and transfer to a clean cutting surface.
- Portioning: Utilize a sharp chef’s knife to slice the fudge block into precise, uniform bite-sized squares, creating an elegant and consistent presentation.
Notes
- Prep Pan Perfectly: Line with parchment paper overhanging edges to easily lift and remove fudge without breaking or sticking.
- Melt Gently: Use low heat or microwave in short bursts to prevent burning pecan butter and coconut oil, maintaining smooth texture and preserving natural flavors.
- Blend Thoroughly: Whisk ingredients consistently to create a glossy, homogeneous mixture that ensures even distribution of maple syrup and prevents separation.
- Chill Completely: Refrigerate for at least 60-90 minutes to achieve a firm, sliceable consistency, allowing fudge to set properly and develop rich, dense texture.
