Furthermore, I made it with a very healthy ingredient, organic virgin coconut oil*, which happens to be my newly launched product. I am super excited about this and I can’t help to tell you a few words about it.

As you probably know, I love making easy recipes with super healthy non-processed ingredients. And one of the ingredients I love most is unrefined virgin coconut oil.

The reason why I love it so much and use it so often is for its many health benefits and because it goes great in so many dishes regardless of diet.

It is a staple ingredient in many popular diets such as Keto, Paleo or Whole30.

And that’s not all…

I also use it for skin and haircare and the results have always been amazing.

But not all are the same. The best coconut oils are the ones unrefined, certified Organic and non-GMO.

Oh yeah, it should also be obtained by cold-pressing the coconuts and not some other process that would make them lose many of their healthy features.

And because it’s such a ubiquitous product in my house, I decided to create my own brand. If you love and use coconut oil as much as I do, it’s definitely worth trying it. Check it out on my e-storeor on Amazon.

Now, I’m sure you’re not here for my overexcitement about my new coconut oil brand, so let’s carry on to my usual Tips & Tricks followed by the recipe video.

So in the next part, I’m gonna tell you how to make this easy chocolate fudge recipe without condensed milk, which ingredients can be replaced and what to serve with it.

So stick around ’cause it gets fudgy and chocolatey.

How to make the best homemade chocolate fudge – Best Tips & Tricks

1. How to make this easy chocolate fudge recipe with cocoa powder

Cocoa powder is the most important ingredient in this recipe because it simply transforms everything into a rich smooth melt-in-your-mouth fudge.

I recommend using Dutch-processed cocoa powder* as it has a mellow flavor, low acidity and melts easily in liquids.

This will make your vegan chocolate fudge darker and chocolatey in flavor.

On the other hand, natural cocoa powder* has a lighter color, a strong chocolate flavor and it’s more acid and bitter.

So if you make the Paleo chocolate fudge with natural cocoa powder it will get a bitter tangy flavor, similar to dark chocolate.

Now don’t get me wrong, this is not a bad thing. I like homemade chocolate fudge mellow and that’s why I used and recommend Dutch-processed cocoa powder.

But there are many foodies who prefer the slightly bitter flavor and if you are one of them just replace Dutch-processed with natural cocoa powder.

2. How to make this easy chocolate fudge recipe without condensed milk

I know that many homemade chocolate fudge recipes include condensed milk because it gives a nice texture and flavor.

And believe me when I say I absolutely love it. Even though it’s not that healthy it’s just sooo gooood!

Now you are probably wondering why on Earth would you remove it?!

But what if we can get the same texture and flavor (even better some would argue), using clean and healthy ingredients. Wouldn’t that be better?

And best of all, it’s super easy. Just replace condensed milk with maple syrup*, some creamy nut butter, vanilla extract, and coconut oil*, and you’ll get the most delicious and fudgiest fudge in Fudgeland.

But don’t just take my word for it, try it yourselves! I’m sure you’ll see that making this easy chocolate fudge recipe without condensed milk is a no-brainer.

3. Which ingredients can be replaced

This part is for those of you who want to bring their own touch to the recipe or just don’t have all ingredients handy.

You can use any of your favorite nut butter such as almond, cashew or peanut butter*.

Furthermore, you can use raw honey instead of maple syrup but note that it won’t be vegan anymore.

As mentioned at Tip #1, you can use natural cocoa powder instead of Dutch-processed if you prefer the slightly-bitter dark chocolate flavor.

Next, you can also add extra toppings such as sprinkles, roasted chopped nuts or dried fruits. After pouring the fudge mixture into the pan, allow it to set for about 10 minutes into the freezer, then sprinkle the toppings and freeze again.

Now let me give you some recommendations on what to serve with this vegan chocolate fudge with cocoa powder.

4. What to serve with vegan chocolate fudge

If you’re a chocoholic, I’m pretty sure you can serve it with mostly everything. I know I can 🙂

But here are some recommendations that will truly make this the best chocolate fudge recipe ever.

– Sprinkle toasted nuts or crumbled cookies on it to get more texture.
– Cut the Paleo chocolate fudge into small bits and stir it into plain yogurt or vanilla ice cream.
– It goes great with healthy meals such as:

• Seared Salmon Avocado Salad
• Bacon Avocado Greek Salad
• Easy Thai Beef Salad

And that’s a wrap for the day, my dear foodies. I’ve armed you with the best tips and tricks so you’re more than ready to make this vegan chocolate fudge recipe with cocoa powder.
