Coconut Oil Fudge is an easy, healthy recipe. The ingredients remind me of an Almond Joy Candy Bar without all the added fat, sugar, and calories.
It's so good and super healthy for you. If you get a chocolate craving and don't want to eat pieces laden with lots of sugar, then you must make this pronto. And if coconut is your jam, be sure to check out my recipe for making your own Easy Coconut Ice Cream.
It takes about 30 minutes to make this, and then you have this plate of fudgy chocolate pieces made with coconut oil, dark chocolate chips, honey, shredded coconut, walnuts, and cocoa powder to indulge in.
How to Make Coconut Oil Fudge
For this recipe, I use silicone cupcake holders. It makes it a lot easier to peel off the chocolate, and they are freezer safe as well. Grab a muffin tin and place the cupcake holders in each tin.
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt until very smooth.
Pour mixture into each cupcake holder. Fill it about ¼ of the way full.
Then sprinkle the shredded coconut on top, as well as chopped walnuts, and dark chocolate chips. Refrigerate it for about an hour, then enjoy.
Be sure to keep them refrigerated. Coconut oil with fudge tends to get soft when left out at room temperature. I just store mine in an airtight container until ready to eat. They should stay good for a couple of weeks.
Coconut desserts are delicious. My Lime and Coconut Macarons are a delicious vegan dessert! For a healthy, savory dish, try my Pumpkin and Coconut Soup.

My son is allergic to dairy, and I thought fudge was something he couldn't eat. But it looks like this recipe will work if I pick dairy free chocolate chips. He will love it, thanks for the recipe!
