Chocolate Freezer Fudge
This chocolate freezer fudge is my secret weapon. It is loaded with nutrient-dense healthy fats, tastes AMAZING and takes no time to make. There is no shortage of freezer fudge recipes on the internet but most of them contain added sweeteners. Although sugar and sweeteners such as stevia are fine in moderation, they can disrupt your hormones and pave the way for more cravings and weight gain. The best part about this fudge is that thanks to natural sweetness from the coconut butter (pureed coconut), it doesn't even need any sweetener! Using coconut butter is one of my favorite hacks for making healthy treats without any sweetener (like my sugar-free almond butter cups) as well as amping up the nutrient density (coconut butter is loaded with fiber and lauric acid, which has incredible anti-bacterial and immune-boosting properties.
I love enjoying this fudge as a healthy snack to tide me over until my next meal or as a soothing dessert (there is just something perfect about something cold and chocolatey after a meal!). With no suspect ingredients and packed with nourishing, healthy fats, it's the perfect treat for anytime of day!
