🍳 Equipment

• Small saucepan
• Mixing bowl
• Whisk or spatula
• 8-inch square dish, loaf pan, or silicone molds

👩‍🍳 Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate

Finely chop the sugar-free dark chocolate.

Smaller pieces melt more evenly and create a smoother texture.

Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl.

---

👩‍🍳 Step 2: Heat the Coconut Milk

In a small saucepan, combine:

• Coconut milk
• Cocoa powder
• Salt

Heat over medium-low heat.

Whisk until smooth.

Do not boil.

Once hot and steaming, remove from the heat.

---

👩‍🍳 Step 3: Make the Chocolate Mixture

Pour the hot coconut milk mixture over the chopped chocolate.

Let stand for 2 minutes.

Stir slowly until:

• Smooth
• Glossy
• Completely melted

Add:

• Almond butter
• Vanilla extract

Mix until fully incorporated.

Taste and add sweetener if desired.

---

👩‍🍳 Step 4: Pour into the Pan

Line a small dish or loaf pan with parchment paper.

Pour the chocolate mixture into the pan.

Smooth the top with a spatula.

Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.

---

👩‍🍳 Step 5: Chill

Place in the refrigerator for 2–4 hours.

The dessert should become firm but still soft enough to melt on the tongue.

For a firmer texture, chill overnight.

---

👩‍🍳 Step 6: Slice and Serve

Lift the dessert from the pan using the parchment paper.

Cut into:

💡 Tips for Success

Use Good Quality Sugar-Free Chocolate

The flavor of the dessert depends heavily on the chocolate you choose.

Look for chocolate with:

• 70% cocoa or higher
• No added sugar

Don’t Boil the Coconut Milk

Boiling can affect the texture and cause the chocolate mixture to become grainy.

For Extra Richness

Add:

• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• 2 tbsp heavy cream (if not dairy-free)

For a Fudge-Like Texture

Freeze for 30 minutes after chilling in the refrigerator.
