Chocolate-Raspberry Fudge

Jump to Recipe

This quick chocolate-raspberry fudge is made in the freezer, is 5 ingredients and just so happens to be dairy-free. Super rich, it’s the perfect sweet for your Valentine (even if it’s not Valentine).

This fudge takes less than an hour to make A-N-D you do not need a candy thermometer. Only a freezer is in your future and I am PRETTY SURE you have that.

You know what that means? I can eat it all, feel good about eating it all… and then make some more QUICKLY and feel good about eating that too.

I’m totally kinda sorta kidding. That would be a wee bit excessive and I do believe everything in moderation. BUT you can feel good about eating this in moderation, that I am not kidding about.

This healthy fudge is literally one of the easiest things I have ever made. I was going to say easy peasy lemon squeezy but that is misleading and slightly confusing as it doesn’t have any lemons, just raspberries.

This healthy fudge recipe comes together in 5 minutes and only has to set for 40-45 minutes. Not to mention you can do it all in one bowl. For a girl who doesn’t like loading/unloading the dishwasher (major #firstworldproblems over here) this is like telling me that Christian Leboutin has decided to gift me unlimited free pairs of heels for LIFEF.

Maybe not THAT exciting but. You know.

We all know raspberries and chocolate go together like peanut butter and jelly. If for some reason you were unaware of this match made in yum-in-my-tum heaven then it’s all the more reason to try this out! Not that you really needed one.

It’s chocolate. Isn’t that good enough?

The coconut oil provides a subtle flavor boost that accentuates the sweetness of the chocolate and the slight tartness of the raspberries like no other.

I really can only describe this paleo coconut oil fudge as a fudgetastic flavor bomb. I don’t even know if that makes sense, but I really can’t think of any other words.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I ensure the chocolate melts smoothly when making the fudge?

Make sure to use high-quality dairy-free chocolate and melt it gently in a microwave or over a double boiler to prevent burning.

Can I substitute the raspberries with another fruit?

While raspberries pair well with chocolate, you can try using crushed strawberries or blueberries for a different flavor, but it may alter the texture slightly.

Is it necessary to use a specific type of nut butter in this recipe?

You can use any creamy nut butter, but almond or cashew butter will give the fudge a nice flavor and texture; just ensure it’s smooth to blend well with the other ingredients.
