Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup coconut butter, store bought or recipe below in notes
  • 1/4 cup any milk
  • 1/4 cup protein or collagen peptides powder, plain or vanilla
  • 2-3 teaspoons honey or maple syrup – to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup berries - sliced

Instructions

  • If you are going to make your own homemade coconut butter, make it first so its ready when you wish to make the fudge (recipe below in notes).
    Line an 7 x 5-inch loaf pan or dish with parchment paper on the bottom and sides leaving some overhanging to act as a handle to get the fudge out easier for cutting. Or you can use a candy mold or even an ice cube tray.
    Melt the coconut butter by placing the jar in a bowl of hot water.
    *Important* Stir to incorporate oil that separates.
    Pour coconut butter into a small glass measuring cup. Stir in honey, milk and vanilla. Sweeten to taste (mixture will thicken).
    Transfer mixture to loaf pan and spread out smooth with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Cover fudge with berries or berry slices and press them in gently.
    Chill for about 30 minutes until firm. Slice into pieces or small squares.
