This Paleo Fudge Recipe brings together sweet chocolate and savory pistachios for a unique and delightful treat - perfect for enjoying and gift giving this holiday season!
I am so excited about the holidays this year. In years past I had a little trouble getting into the holiday spirit because it always seemed like I would spend the entire season eating food that I knew I would regret later - both mentally and physically.
This year I have been determined not to go "off the rails" and while I have not stayed 100% Keto, I have stuck to healthy holiday treats. When I saw a recipe for Paleo Chocolate Pistachio Fudge I knew I had to try it!
I remember making homemade fudge with my Grandma many years ago, so I was excited to get to make some with my girls this year.
The Teen is a pistachio-aholic, so I knew she would be stoked to help out. (Seriously, the child gets a bag of shelled pistachios like this one in her stocking every year!) Even better - it only takes a few ingredients which I already had on hand. Can't beat that.
Gather all of your ingredients and pre-measure to make putting everything together a breeze. Combine the almond butter and the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it for 30 seconds, or till the almond butter is warm and soft and the coconut oil has melted. Mix well.
Add the cocoa powder and maple syrup and mix well. There shouldn’t be any lumps. A wire whisk works well.
Add the ¾ of the chopped pistachios and gently fold it in.
Line a 4x6 pan with plastic wrap or parchment paper. Pour the fudge batter into the prepared pan. Tap to release any air bubble and spread it as evenly as possible. Top with the reserved chopped pistachios.
Let it chill in the freezer for at least 4 hours. Overnight is better. Cut into 5 even rows. Cut each row into 3 squares. Serve immediately or store in a sealed container in the freezer.
This is a delicious treat that will wow all of your loved ones this holiday season. It is also the perfect simple treat that is great for gift giving! I even sprinkled a little bit of coarse sea salt on top to give it even more of a kick - absolutely delicious! Try it yourself - it is sure to be your new family favorite!
