Easy Coconut Fudge Recipes

CREAMY CHOCOLATE COCONUT FUDGE

Steps:

• Line an 8x8 or 11x7 glass baking dish with wax paper or foil and spray with baking spray. Set aside. (TIP: Make the wax paper extra long so the paper goes up and over the sides of the baking dish, that way you can just pull it out of the pan when the fudge sets)
• Combine semisweet chocolate chips, dark chocolate chunks, and coconut oil in a double boiler (or medium sized sauce pan over low heat).
• Stir constantly until chocolate is smooth and just melted. Be careful not to scorch the chocolate. You want to melt it low and slow.
• When chocolate is melted, remove from heat and stir in the sweetened condensed milk, coconut extract, and vanilla extract.
• Pour chocolate mixture into prepared baking dish. Set aside.
• Heat oven to 325-degrees.
• Spread coconut out evenly on a baking sheet and bake for about 5-10 minutes or until golden brown (you may want to stir it after a few minutes to get even coloring).
• Watch the coconut closely-- it will brown quickly!
• Remove toasted coconut from the oven and sprinkle evenly on top of the fudge (the fudge should still be warm).
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set. Cut into 36 squares.

TOASTED COCONUT FUDGE

Steps:

• Line an 8x8 square dish with aluminum foil and spray VERY lightly with non-stick spray.
• Add coconut to a cold, dry (meaning do not add oil, butter or cooking spray) frying pan and heat over medium low heat. Stir frequently until the coconut is golden brown, about 5-10 minutes. Transfer coconut to a bowl and set aside and remove 1 tbsp for topping the fudge.
• Add chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk to a medium sized pot. Heat over medium heat and stir frequently until the chocolate is completely melted. Remove from heat.
• Stir in coconut (except for 1 tbsp.) and the vanilla extract.
• Transfer fudge to the prepared dish and smooth out the top with a spatula.
• Top fudge with the remaining 1 tbsp. toasted coconut. Use your hand to lightly press the coconut onto the fudge so it will set.
• Refrigerate at least 2 hours, un-covered, before cutting.
