Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut butter – store bought or homemade recipe below in notes
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (thawed)
  • 1 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1/2 cup cashews
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Line a 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 use a silicon baking pan or dish.
    Place coconut butter in a small dish and microwave at in 20 second bursts until melted.
    Or place in a small sauce pan and gently heat until melted. Stir continuously until thoroughly melted, then remove immediately to avoid burning. Add honey and stir to combine.
    Into a food processor add melted coconut butter and honey, raspberries, coconut, cashews and vanilla and pulse a few times to combine the ingredients.
    Be careful not to over process as its nice to have texture variance and different sized “bits” in your fudge.
    Taste test and add more honey or vanilla if you think it needs it.
    Scoop out the mixture into your lined pan and spread out evenly with a spatula or back of a spoon.
    Place in fridge or freezer for 30 minutes to firm up. Once firm, lift out of pan with parchment paper handles and slice into 12-16 squares or triangles
    Store in fridge for up to a week or freezer for up to 3 months.
    You can enjoy this right out of the freezer as a very firm 'fudge-like' treat or out of the fridge as a gorgeous soft fudge.
     
     

Notes

If you are anywhere near the health food or fitness circles, you have no doubt heard of coconut oil by now. But have you ever heard of coconut butter? Oh my gosh is it good.
It tastes like the most delicious, decadent, oh-so-bad-for-you treat. Except, it’s not. It’s actually good for you. In fact, coconut butter packs a boatload of benefits:
It’s rich in lauric acid, which boosts immunity and destroys harmful bacteria, viruses, and funguses.
It actually boosts your metabolism, which aids in weight loss and increases energy levels.
Its a superb ingredient for protecting and replenishing the hair and skin
It’s packed with healthy fats, so you feel full longer.
It’s full of essential amino acids, calcium, and magnesium.
Basically, coconut butter is just plain awesome.
It’s so creamy, buttery, naturally sweet and full of nutrients, and it’s hard to believe that this tasty Homemade Coconut Butter from Scratch is made with one ingredient!
You may not know this, but a jar of high-quality coconut butter can be expensive. Yes, that is one of the reasons that you should make you own - it’s unbelievably easy.
Besides being incredibly good for you, coconut butter greatly enhances the creamy texture of desserts, smoothies, ice creams, fudge and hot beverages. Even a spoonful out of the jar is not a bad thing.  😊
Once you start using it, you'll find many other ways to sneak it into your diet. ;)
