Coconut Almond Fudge (Vegan and Paleo)

Melissa King Healthy Chocolate and Candy, Recipes

Coconut Almond Fudge.  I thought I would never again enjoy a sweet bite of indulgent coconut fudge eating a clean and vegan diet. Who doesn’t like fudge?  It literally melts in your mouth with it’s velvety texture.

The minute I had my first taste of coconut butter, I knew I could find a way to make it vegan AND clean. Introducing my Coconut Almond Fudge.  This fudge recipe is truly for coconut lovers!

This coconut almond vegan fudge is so good.  If you like my Coconut Truffles, you will love these!  The best part?  They fit almost every diet.  They are grain free, gluten free and vegan.  If you have a nut allergy, you can try making them with sunflower butter.

I am sure they would be great that way too!  I used chocolate molds to set my fudge, but mini muffin cups would work great too!  If using mini muffin cups, please use a paper or silicone wrappers so they can be easily removed.

    1. It needs to be coconut butter because it has that velvety texture. Coconut oil will solidify too much in the fridge.

        1. I used to think that too, but they are different. Coconut oil gets soft and melts in warm temps and hardens in the fridge to a solid brick. Coconut butter is kept in the pantry and is almost like a nut butter version of coconut. It is spreadable and melts in your mouth. It will harden slightly in the fridge, but you will still be able to bit your teeth into it. I hope that makes sense.

          1. Thanks for the description. I recently bought coconut manna. Could that sub for the coconut butter? Can't wait to try this recipe. Been craving something sweet lately!
        2. Hi Heidi, Coconut butter is made from the flesh from young coconuts, were as Coconut oil is made from the mature flash. cold pressed. Young Coconut: Coconut water and butter = young Coconut Mature Coconut: Oil Milk flakes, and dehydrated coconut Coconut flower: Coconut Nectar = Coconut flower sap (fremented nectar makes aminos,cider and vinegar) Coconut sugar = evaporated flower sap. :)

        2. Make your own! I used unsweetened dried coconut flakes --- put in food processor until liquified --- about 15-20 minutes -- tamp down sides every so often. Walah!! Coconut butter!

    2. I've been searching around and it seems that making coconut butter is super simple. What I've read, you can use the same process as making nut butter.

      1. Yes you can. I tried to make coconut butter from fresh coconut pulp and that didn't work. You can make it from shredded coconut, but it will take about 20 minutes or so in the food processor.

  13. I didn't have coconut butter, so I substituted what I did have on hand, which was organic shredded coconut. I haven't cooled them yet, but I tasted it warm, and it was delicious! Thank you!

    1. You are very welcome! You know, you can make your own coconut butter from shredded coconut? I haven't tried myself, but it is supposed to work. Kind of like making peanut butter.

      1. No, I didn't know that, but it makes perfect sense. I am a HUGE coconut fan, so I'm really enjoying your coconut recipes. Thanks again.

        1. I am so glad. Maybe I will blog about homemade coconut butter sometime soon. I am loving all things coconut and I used to hate it.

  14. What a simple description of the difference between coconut butter and oil :) I've only used oil. These look great! Every time you make something with almond, I think of how it must be your absolute favorite food, the way you talk about it! Well, I have a fudge too, but most people would probably like a bit of sweetener added. It's peanut butter fudge! http://fresh-you.blogspot.com/2012/04/chocolate-peanut-butter-fudge-eggs.html So great how fudge can be included in a healthy diet :) Good night!

    1. I am sorry that you didn't like it that much. I used a silicone chocolate mold so I just bent it and they popped out.

        1. I think when you use the ice cube trays, you can leave them outside the fridge for a couple minutes and they may be easier to remove.

    1. I think it would work that way for sure. If you can, line the pan with some parchment, so you can easily pull the whole thing out and slice.

  19. I'm trying a modified version of these, with just unsweetened coconut flakes since I don't have coconut butter (and no food processor to make any). I couldn't wait for the finished chilled product so I tasted the remnants from the pan, and it is GOOD! Can't wait till it's chilled so we can enjoy it! Thanks for sharing this!

      1. It worked surprisingly well! I'm addicted. I made a double batch today (my husband and boys finished off yesterday's batch last night!).

  20. You can actually make your own coconut butter by taking unsweetened dry shredded coconut (of any kind) and put it into a blender or food processor. In a Vitamix it takes about 30 seconds and voila, coconut butter!
