2 Ingredient Healthier Fudge
This healthier fudge is dairy free and refined sugar free. It is just 2 ingredients and easy to prepare. No candy thermometer needed. The fudge also stores well in the fridge or freezer.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (223g) dark chocolate chips, around 60% cocoa, see note before starting
- 2/3 cup (168g) sweet potato puree, brought to room temperature
Instructions
- Line an 8 inch x 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- 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 sweet potato puree to the melted chocolate. Make sure your puree is room temperature. If it is too cold, it will cause the chocolate to seize. Stir the sweet potato in with a spatula until it is fully incorporated.
- 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 (around 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. In general, you want to use chocolate that contains lecithin. Lecithin helps the chocolate stay smooth and the fudge stay creamy. However, if you want to avoid lecithin, the one brand I've had success with is Hu dark chocolate* (which doesn't contain lecithin and is also dairy free and sweetened with unrefined coconut sugar.) I have not had success with Enjoy Life brand, a popular brand that doesn't contain lecithin.
- I used Farmer's Market Organic Sweet Potato Puree.*
