Raw Vegan Coconut Chocolate Fudge

by 59 Comments

I love raw cacao powder. What is cacao? Wait, did you say cocoa? Nope I said cacao!

Cacao is basically raw chocolate bean, without all the milk, sugar and other additives that make up processed chocolate.  Raw cacao is packed with antioxidants that destroy free radicals in your body.  These free radicals can accelerate the aging process and may even increase your risk for heart disease and certain cancers.  That basically means cacao has good stuff that fights the bad stuff.

I’m not giving you the green light to overindulge and eat this every day.  Remember: Everything in moderation.  Let’s say it again: Everything in moderation. Ok, back to the cacao.  If you are a chocolate lover, here is a healthier way to eat it, without all the processed junk.

This Raw Coconut Fudge is vegan, gluten-free & dairy-free. I keep this in my refrigerator all the time!

Raw Coconut Fudge

Vegan, Chocolate, Raw, Cacao, Superfood

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup cacao powder
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup 100% maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Mix all the ingredients together except 2 tablespoons coconut until well blended.
  2. You can either roll into balls or place into a small baking pan and slice into squares.
  3. Place reserved coconut and place in small bowl. Dip the balls or squares in there.
  4. Eat immediately or store in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.

If you don’t like coconut (like me) you can easily substitute pomegranates or a dried fruit if you’d like.

  33. Ok, I did all six, so I hope I win. 🙂 I love Navitas Naturals products. I currently have several in my pantry and fridge. The power snacks are awesome! Think I’ll have one right now, but my bag is nearly empty, so …
    I’d love to win the other items so I can make yummy AND healthy chocolate treats … in moderation, of course. 😉

  45. I would love the cocoa powder so I could make some more of my yummy fudge power balls which are mostly just dried plums, almond butter, dates and cocoa but SO taste like fudge!

    • Hi Sandy! You can also use honey or another unrefined sugar of your choice. I hope that helps! Thank you! 🙂

  53. Hey Lauren,

    Miss you since my Bar Method days. This fudge is right up my alley. I made it immediately and it is delicious.

    Thanks for a great recipe!

  54. I love this recipe! But was just curious – can it last for longer than 2 days in the fridge or should it be consumed within a certain time frame? Thanks!

    • Hi Robin! I have never had it last that long 😉 but I bet it would be good for up to 5 days in an air tight container in the refrigerator. I hope you like it!
