Pink & White Coconut Fudge

Also known as 2-ingredient fudge, this is the easiest candy recipe as it involves two ingredients, a few minutes in the microwave or stove and some time in the fridge until it firms up.

You can use vanilla or chocolate flavor, and it's the perfect canvas for add-ins. Gift it for the holidays, take it to potlucks and bake sales. It's always a favorite and keeps well for a few weeks.

It’s incredibly simple to make, all melted and mixed in one saucepan and truly delicious. You will love it! It’s great for gifts, dessert platters, or any time you want a piece of deliciousness.

It is like regular fudge - super rich, uber decadent - but secretly healthy and guilt-free!  Yup, that means no butter, no white sugar and no sweetened condensed milk…  just pure, fudgy goodness.

The big secret here is that you will be using homemade condensed milk, free of the LOADS of sugar in store bought stuff. 

The facts are…manufacturers take out about 60% of the water from the milk to “condense” it down. After they “condense” the milk, they add about 40% sugar to fill the void from the water.

I’m sure you’re asking yourself why the manufacturers do this. Well, the added sugar means the shelf life is longer, plus transporting the milk is easier due to not having to store it in cooler temperatures.

Its always about the convenience to them, rather than people’s health.

But when you take the time and effort to make your own condensed milk, especially if its from coconut cream to make this delightful fudge, you get all the real, natural favors - no artificial food flavourings here! Each little cube is like a piece of heaven.

This fudge is super soft, yet holds its shape long enough for you to pop them in your mouth…  where they then melt in your mouth.

The recipe for the sugar free homemade condensed milk is below in notes. It really very easy to do and you can keep some in your fridge so its ready to add a dollop on EVERYTHING for a super healthy treat.

It will be something you can enjoy regularly as part of a healthy eating plan. Its high in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), a form of beneficial fat that can increase energy levels and enhance brain function and many other health benefits.

MCTs also help people lose weight by making them feel fuller longer and encouraging fat burning, they also have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that can boost the immune system and promote healthy skin.

If you're looking for a quick and easy dessert to make at home, you will love this creamy fudge.  Fully customizable too – you can add your own extras like nuts, dried fruit, seeds or other flavours to the 2-ingredient base recipe.

One little square makes me happy in an instant. It’s soft, chewy, nutty and it melts in your mouth - so beautiful. I top the fudge with a sprinkle of sea salt for a perfect sweet salty combination.
