Equipment
- 1 loaf pan
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup dark chocolate chips see above for suggestions
- ½ cup canned full fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 ½ teaspoons peppermint extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 peppermint candies or candy canes Optional, crushed into small pieces
Instructions
- Add your chocolate and coconut milk to a small saucepan and place over low heat. Be sure to stir your coconut milk well before measuring to incorporate the fatty cream with the liquid.
- Stir often and cook until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Be sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan.
- Once the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth, remove the pan from the heat and stir in your peppermint, vanila, and maple syrup.
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing the extra paper to hang over the sides. This will help you lift the fudge out once it's set. Pour the fudge in and spread it out evenly in the pan. Sprinkle with peppermint candies if using.
- Place the fudge in the freezer, and freeze it for 4 hours.
- Once the fudge is set, cut it into 10 equal squares and enjoy!
