How to make Healthy Fudge

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups 60% dark or higher chocolate (about 270g)
• 3/4 cup THICK coconut yogurt or Greek-style yogurt (unsweetened vanilla is great)
• Pinch of sea salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Chopped nuts, dried fruit, etc. (optional for extra flavor)

Directions

1. If you prefer sweeter fudge, consider using sweetened yogurt. Just make sure the yogurt is very thick for the best results. Unsweetened yogurt still works great, too!
2. In a large bowl, add the yogurt. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes until nearly at room temperature.
3. If your yogurt isn’t flavored, you can stir in a teaspoon of vanilla for extra flavor.
4. Line a small loaf pan or glass container with parchment paper and set aside.
5. Melt the chocolate using either a double boiler or a microwave. For the microwave, add the chocolate to a medium bowl and heat in 30-second increments, stirring well between each interval until completely smooth.
6. Once melted, pour the chocolate over the yogurt. Mix the two together quickly with a spatula until well combined. It’s important to work fast, as the mixture will harden as it cools.
7. Quickly pour the mixture into the lined pan. Place the pan in the freezer for a few hours until firm.
8. Once set, cut into pieces and sprinkle with flakey sea salt if desired.
9. Store the fudge in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer for up to 2 months. This fudge is best kept in the freezer, as it may become too soft if stored in the fridge.
