Notes
- Thickness: This recipe makes fairly thick fudge pieces. You can use another size pan for thinner or thicker pieces. Cutting the recipe in half will also yield thinner fudge pieces.
- Consistency: Using a combination of MCT oil and butter will yield a soft fudge. Using any other combination of fats will yield a different texture. The more coconut oil used, the more solid the resulting fudge will be.
- Cocoa and Sweetener: Adjust sweetener and cocoa to taste. Adding more of both will yield a more traditional fudge flavor. Using less will let the flavor of the adaptogens to stand out more.
- Nut / Seed Butter Options: I've made this with both almond and sunflower butter and both options taste great. This recipe is very similar to Phat Fudge, which is based on tahini, so that's a great option too!
- Serve Chilled: This fudge is best served chilled. Depending on the fats used, it might serve well at room temperature (if using a granulated sweetener and coconut oil). Otherwise, serving chilled is best--frozen is great too!
