2 Ingredient Healthier Apple Fudge
This healthier apple fudge is soft and creamy and only needs 2 ingredients. It doesn't require any dairy, butter or oil.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (127g) unsweetened applesauce
- 1 1/2 cups (233g) dark chocolate chips, 60% cocoa, see note before starting
Instructions
- Line an 8 inch x 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- Add applesauce to a small blender and blend until it becomes a thick, mostly smooth puree.
- Add chocolate chips to a large microwave safe mixing bowl. Heat in 15-30 second intervals, stirring in between with a spatula until chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Let the chocolate cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Add the apple puree to the melted chocolate. Stir until the apple puree is fully incorporated and you have a smooth chocolate batter that is uniform in color.
- Transfer the fudge into your lined baking loaf pan. Use a spatula to smooth and even the surface. You can also use an offset spatula to make swirls or other patterns on the surface if desired.
- Place the fudge into the fridge until firm (1-2 hours). Cut fudge into approximate 1 inch squares with a large sharp knife. Uneaten fudge should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Chocolate note: This fudge should be made with dark chocolate chips that contain around 60% cocoa. Anything less than that may not set. Avoid using chocolate that doesn't contain lecithin (such as Enjoy Life brand). Lecithin helps the chocolate stay smooth and the fudge stay creamy. I did test this fudge with Enjoy Life Dark morsels and the fudge was too firm.
- This recipe can be made with homemade or store bought applesauce. I used store bought to save time. I used Amazon Grocery unsweetened applesauce.*
