Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 blocks creamed coconut (400 grams / 14 ounces)
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) fresh raspberries
Additional Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest, finely grated
Sweetener:
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare a 9 x 5 inches (23 x 13 centimeters) loaf pan by lining it completely with plastic wrap, ensuring smooth coverage to facilitate easy removal of the fudge later.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully dice the creamed coconut block into small, uniform pieces to ensure even melting.
- Create a makeshift double boiler by placing a heat-resistant glass bowl over a pot containing approximately 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
- Transfer the chopped creamed coconut into the glass bowl and gently stir with a silicone spatula until completely liquefied and smooth, avoiding overheating.
- Remove the melted coconut from heat and immediately incorporate fresh raspberries, finely grated lemon zest, and pure maple syrup.
- Use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a tall container to thoroughly blend all ingredients until achieving a uniform, vibrant consistency.
- Pour the raspberry-coconut mixture into the prepared loaf pan, using a spatula to spread evenly and tap the pan gently to release any air bubbles.
- Refrigerate the fudge for 2 to 3 hours or place in the freezer for 30 to 40 minutes until completely firm and set.
- Once solidified, lift the fudge out of the pan using the plastic wrap and slice into bite-sized squares or triangular pieces for serving.
Notes
- Meticulously prepare your workspace by lining a loaf pan with cling film to guarantee effortless fudge removal.
- Create a gentle double-boiler setup using a shallow pot and heat-proof bowl to melt creamed coconut without scorching.
- Stir the coconut continuously during melting to achieve a silky, uniform texture that promises smooth fudge consistency.
- Blend vibrant raspberries, zesty lemon notes, and sweet maple syrup directly into the melted coconut for a burst of flavor.
- Compress the luscious mixture firmly into the lined pan, ensuring compact layers that will set beautifully when chilled.
- Refrigerate or freeze the fudge until perfectly firm, then slice into delectable squares ready to delight taste buds.
