Salted Molasses Fudge (Gluten-Free & Paleo)

Salted Molasses Fudge

For Christmas this year, I received an edible gift of Gingerbread Fudge from a local shop here in Roncesvalles Village. 

Oh my, it was absolutely delicious.

I saved the ingredient label, although gluten-free, still included white sugar, brown sugar and corn syrup. 

By saving the ingredient label, my intent was to recipe test and develop a paleo version.  Yesterday, I did just that and I cannot wait for you to try my latest creation!

Refined sugar-free, raw, vegan and paleo, you’ll be sure to love this spicy, creamy fudge treat.

Also, molasses, where have you been all my life?!

Enjoy!

THIS RECIPE IS GLUTEN-FREE & PALEO.

Ingredients

• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/8 tsp + 1 pinch coarse salt (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Place nut butter and coconut oil in a saucepan and heat on medium low for about 1 minute, stirring until just melted, and well combined.  (Or microwave for 45 seconds in a microwave safe dish).
   

2. Pour nut butter and coconut oil into a medium sized mixing bowl.  Add all other ingredients to the bowl, including 1 pinch of salt.  (Save remaining salt for garnish, after fudge had been frozen).
   

3. Whisk until well combined.
   

4. Line a 8.5" x 4.5" loaf pan with plastic wrap, pour mixture into pan and freeze for at least 1 hour.
   

5. Remove from freezer, lift out fudge using edges of plastic.  Remove plastic.  Let stand for 5 minutes. 
   

6. Sprinkle slab with remaining salt.

7. Cut into squares with a sharp knife.

8. Serve fudge cold, straight from freezer.  Store in freezer. ENJOY!

Recipe Notes

When shopping for ingredients, I try and stick to the 'Clean 15 and the Dirty Dozen' rule when it comes to buying organic fruits and vegetables. I have listed all ingredients simply by name, and have left off words such as "organic", "grass fed", "free-run" etc. I encourage you to do your own research and consume what works best for you.
