Servings: 36 pieces
Preparation: 5 minutes
Cooling: 3 hours
Ingredients
3 cups (750 mL) dairy-free chocolate chips
2 cans of 195 ml sweetened condensed coconut milk (Let’s Do Organic brand)
3 tbsp. 2 tbsp (45 mL) plain or deodorized coconut oil
1 box of fresh raspberries
1 ⅓ cup (330 ml) toasted hazelnuts + ¼ cup (60 ml) very finely chopped for sprinkling
½ tsp. 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) fleur de sel
Freeze-dried raspberries for sprinkling (optional)
Preparation
1. Grease an 8 x 8-inch square pan and line the bottom with parchment paper, letting it hang over each side. To book.
2. In a microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate with the sweetened condensed coconut milk and coconut oil in 50 second intervals (about 2 times), stirring each time, until the chocolate mixture is melted and homogeneous.
3. Add the fresh raspberries, hazelnuts and salt and mix gently.
4. Immediately pour into lined pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle with freeze-dried raspberries and the rest of the hazelnuts. Refrigerate 3 hours.
5. Cut into small squares.
Good to know
• To toast the hazelnuts, preheat the oven to 350°F and place them on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Then place them lukewarm in a clean cloth and rub dynamically to remove the skin: it will come off like magic! Toasting the hazelnuts is definitely worth it, you won’t be disappointed!
• It is important to use the condensed coconut milk we suggest, otherwise the fudge will not hold together well. Not all products have such a thick consistency. If you don’t have a dairy intolerance, you can use Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk and adjust the amount.
• Before each cut of the fudge, dip the blade of your knife in very hot water, then wipe off the excess water. You will have beautiful squares of perfect fudge!
• The fudge will keep for 2 days in the refrigerator and 2 months in the freezer, in an airtight container. It is important to freeze the fudge after 2 days in the fridge to keep the raspberries fresh. Frozen raspberries should be avoided, as they release too much water after defrosting.
