Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 2 blocks creamed coconut (400 grams / 14.1 ounces)
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) fresh raspberries (thawed if frozen)
Sweeteners:
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest, finely grated
Instructions
- Prepare a loaf pan by carefully lining the interior with cling film, ensuring smooth coverage to facilitate easy removal of the fudge later.
- Finely chop or grate the creamed coconut block into uniform pieces to promote even melting and smooth texture.
- Create a makeshift double boiler by placing a heat-proof bowl containing the creamed coconut into a shallow pan filled with approximately one inch of hot water.
- Gently melt the coconut, stirring consistently to prevent uneven heating and maintain a silky consistency. Remove the bowl from heat once completely liquefied.
- Incorporate fresh raspberries, bright lemon zest, and rich maple syrup into the melted coconut base. Utilize an immersion blender or food processor to transform the mixture into a velvety, homogeneous blend.
- Transfer the luxurious fudge mixture into the prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly and smoothing the surface with a spatula to create a uniform layer.
- Chill the fudge in the refrigerator for several hours to achieve optimal firmness, or expedite the process by freezing for 20-30 minutes until solid.
- Once set, carefully remove the fudge from the pan using the cling film edges and slice into elegant squares or triangular portions.
- Serve and savor the decadent vegan raspberry coconut fudge, enjoying its creamy texture and vibrant flavor profile.
Notes
- Creamy coconut melts smoothly when gently heated in a water bath, creating a silky base for this delightful vegan treat.
- Fresh raspberries transform the simple coconut mixture into a vibrant, tangy dessert bursting with natural sweetness.
- Chilling is crucial for achieving the perfect fudge-like texture, allowing the ingredients to set and bind together beautifully.
- Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the most intense flavor and brightest color in your homemade fudge.
- Line the pan carefully with cling film to ensure easy removal and clean cutting of the fudge squares.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, maintaining its creamy consistency and fresh taste.
