Prep time: 3 h Cook time: 10 min Total: 3 h 10 min Servings: 12
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup (about 100 g) raw cacao butter (chopped)
- 1/4 cup (50 g) hazelnut butter
- 1/3 cup (about 80 g) cream from canned coconut milk
- 2 teaspoons Matcha powder
- 1/3 cup (about 80 ml) maple syrup
- 1/3 cup (about 50 g) roasted hazelnuts
INSTRUCTIONS
- Roughly chop cacao butter. This way it will melt faster and no chunks will be formed.
- To get the cream from the coconut milk, the best way to do that is to put the can of coconut milk in a fridge for at least 1 hour. This will make the milk fat separate and solidify on top and it can be easily removed and used in this recipe.
- Add cacao butter and coconut cream in a glass bowl and melt over a double boiler for a couple of minutes. Stir from time to time. When melted remove from the heat and add hazelnut butter, maple syrup, and Matcha powder. Stir well until evenly combined.
- Pour the mixture on a parchment paper-lined container or baking dish. Add roasted hazelnuts. Refrigerate least 3 hours or until firm.
- When the fudge is firm enough cut it into cubes or bars. Keep in refrigerator.
- Serve and enjoy your Matcha and Hazelnut Fudge.
