Cashew Freezer Fudge (with AIP variation!)

About Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD

Award-winning public speaker, New York Times bestselling author and world-renowned health expert, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD (aka The Paleo Mom) believes the key to reversing the current epidemics of chronic disease is scientific literacy. She creates educational resources to help people regain their health through diet and lifestyle choices informed by the most current evidenced-based scientific research.

Mmm, fudge.  Better yet, fudge that is indulgent but not cloyingly sweet, made with clean and nutrient-dense ingredients, that’s easy and quick to make, and that’s completely Paleo and even AIP-friendly!  Woot!

The secret to this recipe is coconut oil, both for the fudge itself and the topping.  While you can use any smooth nut butter for the fudge (I prefer cashew, but you can use coconut butter (toasted or regular) to make it AIP, or almond butter, or pecan butter, or sunflower butter to make it nut-free…), there really isn’t a substitute for coconut oil (it’s key to the fudgey, slightly chewy texture).

  1. Grease 9″ x 5″ glass baking dish with coconut oil, or use candy molds.
  2. Whisk ingredients together until fully combined. (If they aren’t coming together well, gently warm on low power in the microwave or in a double boiler)
  3.  Pour into prepared dish or molds.  Freeze for at least 1 hour until set.
  4. Once frozen, remove from dish onto a cutting board and cut into squares.  If using candy molds, simply pop out of the molds.  Place on a lined baking sheet or cutting boards.

  6. Consume frozen and don’t leave out of the freezer.
