Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 blocks creamed coconut (400 g)
  • 100 g fresh raspberries (if using frozen, thawed)
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest (finely grated)
  • 4 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coconut: Chop or grate your creamed coconut block to make the melting process easier. Line a loaf pan with cling film to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt the Coconut: Place the grated creamed coconut into a small heat-proof bowl. Set this bowl over a shallow pan or pot containing about an inch of hot water (double boiler method). Stir frequently to help the coconut melt evenly, taking care not to keep it on heat longer than necessary.
  3. Blend Ingredients: Once the coconut is fully melted, add the fresh raspberries, lemon zest, and maple syrup. Use an immersion blender or a small food processor to blend everything together until smooth. Transferring the mix to a taller container may help with blending.
  4. Set the Fudge: Press the blended mixture firmly into the lined loaf pan. Place it in the fridge for a couple of hours to set, or alternatively, freeze it for 20 to 30 minutes for faster solidification.
  5. Slice and Serve: After the fudge has set and firmed up, remove it from the pan using the cling film and slice into squares or triangles. Enjoy immediately or keep refrigerated.

Notes

  • If using frozen raspberries, ensure they are fully thawed before blending for a smoother texture.
  • Maple syrup adds natural sweetness, but you can adjust the amount to taste or substitute with another liquid sweetener if preferred.
  • The fudge can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or frozen for longer storage.
  • Using cling film in the pan helps with easy removal and clean slicing.
