Only a handful of ingredients and less than 10 minutes of prep time is all you need for this super simple Peppermint Mocha Fudge! You won't believe it's Paleo and Vegan.
4drops peppermint oil or 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
1-4tbspmaple syrup*
1tspsea salt + more for tasting
Instructions
Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper, or a 9x5 inch bread pan with parchment paper. Let the parchment paper go over the sides to create a sling. Lightly coat with non-stick spray.
Melt chocolate chips, coconut milk, instant coffee, syrup, and peppermint extract over medium low heat in a small sauce pan. This will take anywhere from 7-12 minutes. Taste to see if more maple syrup is needed for your level of sweetness. I only used 1 tbsp. Start with 1 and add in additional syrup to taste. Finally, add in tsp salt.
Gently pour melted chocolate into your pan. Top with more sea salt.
Refrigerate for at least two hours, or until firm. Remove from pan and slice into small squares.
Serve cold or at room temperature.
Notes
*Adjust the maple syrup tp your taste. I used only 1 tbsp
