Chocolate Fudge


Chocolate Fudge

Inspired by:
Godairyfree.org and recipe by Hannah Kaminsky

Why?
I had a craving!

I used:
200g dairy free dark chocolate, broken into small pieces.
3 ½ cups icing sugar
½ cup cocoa
2 tablespoons dairy free margarine
½ cup coconut milk (naturally dairy free)
½ teaspoon vanilla powder/essence

What I did:
Line a 20cm x30cm baking pan.
Place chocolate, sugar and cocoa in a medium sized bowl and mix together. 
In a saucepan heat margarine and coconut milk over a low to medium heat, stirring continually. 
When margarine has melted and mixture is just bubbling, remove from heat (turn off element) and pour over the ingredients in the bowl. 
Let the mixture rest for two minutes, and then stir with a wooden spoon to combine it together, mixing in the vanilla. 
Once the chocolate has melted into the mixture, and the mixture's consistency is smooth, pour it into the baking pan and let cool completely before attempting to cut it.

Comments after eating Chocolate Fudge!
I’m typing this up quite a while after making this, but I remember it being really rich and really delicious! It was something that we just wanted to keep eating which was a bit naughty! It’s tempting me to make it again. I hope I can hold out until Christmas! I saw a photo of a variation someone had made of this fudge that had crushed candy canes pressed into the top, and was mint flavored! What a perfect present!
