Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Freezer Fudge
/I’m one of those people that has to have something sweet almost every night after dinner. It’s usually a couple of pieces of dark chocolate, but I also like to have healthier dessert options around too. I love this freezer fudge because it keeps well in the freezer and has only about 3 grams of sugar per serving. I made these using real maple syrup and not cane sugar so they are also refined sugar free as well as gluten and dairy free. They are so easy to make and only require a few ingredients so it’s a win win!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups almond butter
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup dark chocolate chips (I like using Lily’s because they’re sugar free)
6-8 drops stevia (optional)
Directions:
1. Melt the coconut oil in a small pot over low-medium heat. While this is melting, add the almond butter to a mixing bowl.
2. Once the coconut oil is melted, add the vanilla extract and maple syrup to the pot. Stir the mixture and then take it off the heat and pour it over the almond butter. Stir the mixture until it’s well combined.
3. Add the stevia if you would like to sweeten the mixture just a bit more. Stir in the chocolate chips and pour the mixture into a 9”x5” loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Place the pan, uncovered, on a flat surface in the freezer and freeze for about an hour, until the fudge is frozen. Cut the pieces into 1.5 inch squares and enjoy! The fudge will keep in the freezer for a few weeks (if it even lasts that long!).
With love,
