AIP / Paleo “Chocolate” Carob Fudge

AIP / Paleo "Chocolate" Carob Fudge - A Squirrel in the KitchenI developed this recipe for one of my daughters when she was doing a sugar detox earlier this year. The beginning of the detox was a little bit rough and she was experiencing cravings for a little something sweet.  I didn’t want her to cave in and eat a treat that would jeopardize all her efforts!  So I got into the kitchen and hunted for “detox approved” ingredients that would make a healthy treat when combined together.  After a few tries, I came up with this decadent “chocolate” carob fudge.

Some of you might think that it is better not to eat any treats at all during a detox, and you might be right.  But I am an advocate of moderation in all things, including restrictions!  I think it is better to relieve your sugar cravings with a safe dessert than trying to avoid them at all costs to later devour a dozen cookies because you couldn’t  resist anymore.  What do you think?

You can prepare this chocolate carob fudge with or without any sweetener.  There is only 1 tablespoon of honey in the ingredients, but you can totally skip it and the fudge will still taste amazing!

Another great thing about this fudge is that you can whip it up in less than 10 minutes, no kidding!  There is just one step (place all the ingredients in a small pan) and you are done!  I love easy, un-involved recipes that I can prepare in a pinch without too much fuss.  So if you need something quick and satisfying, this is the ticket.

You can keep this chocolate carob fudge in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days, although it never lasts that long in our house!

    • Hello Maria,

      Toasted carob powder, as opposed to raw carob powder, has been lightly roasted. It is much easier to use toasted carob powder than raw, as raw tend to form clots. You can use whichever pan you prefer as there is no baking in this recipe 🙂

  4. Oh my gosh, yum, I can’t wait to make this! My friends and I are having a Galentine’s Day party, and I’d hate to not be able to eat any kind of sweet treat. Thanks for this!

  5. I made this and it separated? 🙁 Not sure what I did wrong, I added a very small amount of salt I wonder rid that caused it?

    • Hello leo,

      I am not sure what went wrong. My suggestion would be to stir the mixture a few times while it is in the process of cooling to make sure the ingredients do not separate. – Sophie

    • Hello Claudia,

      I don’t think you could replace coconut butter with regular butter or ghee. Coconut butter is much harder than regular butter, which helps to hold this fudge together. If you use butter, it will be too soft and runny. – Sophie

  7. I just made the Carob Fudge and it is amazing, thank you!!! Can this go in the freezer, or does it need to stay in the fridge? How long will it last in either?
    Thanks,
    Kelly

  10. Is there a substitution you’d suggest for the coconut butter. I find I am sensitive to coconut. Thank you for the great recipes! Just ordered your cookbooks
