A delicious dairy free coconut chocolate fudge made with coconut oil and almond or coconut milk. This low carb chocolate fudge makes a tasty fat bomb snack.
This past week, the first day of spring arrived in Southeastern Connecticut with more snow. It has been a very long and snowy winter in New England.
I am longing for real spring weather. I want to be able to spend some time outside without feeling chilled to the bone.
I’m somewhat of a hermit during the winter because I have Raynaud’s disease which causes my toes to numb quickly. Even the walk from the car to my office building at work is enough time in the cold for my feet to numb, and it doesn’t even have to be near freezing temperatures to affect me.

I’d love to move somewhere warmer, but my husband has a couple established local businesses that would be difficult to start up again if we moved. So, I stay and suffer through each brutal New England winter.
With warmer temperatures on the horizon, I don’t see myself having a lot of time for baking and complicated meals as I’ll be spending more time outside of the house. With that in mind, I’ve been collecting some quick and easy recipes that I can whip up in a matter of a few minutes.
This dairy free coconut chocolate fudge recipe is one of those super simple recipes that takes less than five minutes to prepare. You literally just dump all the ingredients into a food processor or blender then spread it out in a parchment paper lined container. It hardens up in the refrigerator within an hour and then can be cut into squares and enjoyed.
I’ve been looking for ways to eat more coconut oil and this dairy free coconut chocolate fudge recipe contains a good amount of this healthy oil. Because it’s so cold where we live, I have to soften up the oil a bit before using it as it’s way too hard at room temperature.
If I were pouring this fudge into molds, I would melt the oil first, but since I’m spreading it in a pan, I just microwaved a bit to soften the oil as I didn’t want the mixture to be too thin.
I am the only person that will be eating the fudge, so I kept the amount small and used a square lunch meat container to spread the mixture out into. This container was 6×6-inches.
You can use a container a bit smaller if you’d rather have thicker fudge squares. I got 16 bite size pieces which was perfect for me.
Don’t you just love simple recipes like this? These little babies were so delicious that they were gone in a few days. It’s a good thing it’s so easy to whip up another batch.

Hi! I'm Lisa, a part-time blogger, full-time engineer, and mother of three. I've been low carbing since 2001 and love to try new recipes. This blog started in 2010 as a way to save and share my recipes with others. 
Laura says
Just attempted to make this in my large Ninja Blender.. all the ingredients stuck to the bottom and sides – way too thick, should have known. The consistency reminded me when I made chocolate truffles so I scooped it out and tried to form it into balls but it was too melty so I stuck the mixture in the refrigerator for 20 minutes then made the truffles by rolling a bit into a ball and then rolling it into cocoa powder… They are really tasty!
Laura says
Oh! I also used confectioners Swerve and kept the amount the same.
Lisa says
Not sure what the difference was, but mine wasn’t that thick. Maybe temperature?
Vannessa says
I made 4 batches replacing vanilla with almond extract for one and added instant coffee to another batch for variety they are all great
Lisa says
Instant coffee always gives cocoa a boost. Sounds yummy!
Nancy Rivera says
Is the almond milk sweetened or unsweetened?
Lisa says
ALWAYS unsweetened for low carb recipes.
Rachel says
Thank you so much for this recipe! The fudge tastes absolutely amazing! I used a blend of erythritol and stevia, so reduced the sweetener by half, which was perfect. The perfect keto fat bomb dessert, for sure.
Lisa says
You’re most welcome Rachel! So glad you enjoyed the fudge.
Sami says
These are incredible!! 😀
I substituted the natvia for honey, and the coconut chips for desiccated coconut. Don’t get very many interesting health ingredients here. The consistency was a bit thinner so I put it in a silicone mold to set, but it came out great. Absolutely decadent! Thank you for the recipe! 🙂
Lisa says
You’re welcome. Great idea to use a mold!
Cindy says
Was the coconut milk from a can or a carton?
Lisa says
I used the kind from a carton, but canned works just as well.
angela says
I don’t know whether I’m being an idiot here but I’m a bit confused as to how you reached net carbs of 0.8g. Surely if total carbs are 3.8g and fibre is 1.2g surely that comes to 2.6g of net carbs?
Lisa says
I’ve included erythritol in the total carb count so it needs to be subtracted as well. Most people don’t consider it in the carb count, but if you look at standard labels in the US, erythritol is included in total carbs. It is the only sugar alcohol that can be subtracted completely for net carbs. All other should only have half the amount subtracted.
Erin says
I have been looking for more dairy-free recipes! This one looks great. I feel ya with the endless winter. I grew up in Massachusetts and I am not sure I can ever go back to all that cold. Brrr… Thankful for desserts to take your mind off the chill. 😉
Lisa says
I probably need to cut down on dairy. This was so delicious I didn’t miss the dairy at all.
Jayne says
Followed recipe except used Stevia. The recipe never “set up” and was very wet. It has a good dark chocolat flaor to it though. Advice?
Lisa says
You’ll need another ingredient to replace the bulk needed from the powdered sweetener. You could try adding ground coconut or whey protein powder. The protein powder should give the needed bulk without altering flavor.
Linda says
Is there a substitute for the Natvia?
EZSweetz?
Splenda?
Thanks!
Lisa says
You can use any powdered or liquid sweetener equal to about 1/4 cup sugar. A granular sweetener should be powdered first.
Marye says
This looks perfect for staving off carb cravings! I love how creamy it looks! Pinning
Lisa says
It’s definitely a keeper recipe that I will make frequently.
Alisa @ Go Dairy Free says
Indeed – I love easy recipes like this one so much that I have one just like it on my website and in my book! Great sweets lovers think alike!
Lisa says
I’ll have to check out your recipes!
Katherine says
This sounds wonderful, and I love that you just throw everything in the blender! Too easy.
Lisa says
It certainly is an easy peasy one.
Lauren @ Wicked Spatula says
I know what you mean about wanting to live somewhere warmer! My husband developed a condition like Raynaud’s this winter where his blood vessels in his toes actually burst from the cold. Not fun! Looking forward to warmer days ahead…today is in the 70’s! Loving this fudge, the perfect little indulgence!
Lisa says
I’m hoping that our retirement can be spent somewhere much warmer. It’s better late than never.
