Toasted Coconut Fudge

Add toasted coconut flakes into the blender cup and pulse for about 45 seconds, starting with a low speed, increasing to the highest. I did not need to stop my Vitamix once, but depending on which machine you are using, you may need to stop a few times to bring the flakes to the center.

Add vanilla extract, cacao butter and a pinch of sea salt. Pulse for about 30 seconds.

Lastly, add maple syrup (this can be substituted for agave or honey, but it will no longer be a vegan recipe). Pulse for just a few seconds, about 15 seconds, again starting from low speed and increasing to the highest.

Spray a loaf pan with coconut oil and pour the thick mixture in. Refrigerate for 3–4 hours or overnight to set.

Cut the coconut fudge into small (or large, if you wish) pieces. Keep refrigerated.
