Homemade Fudge
Easy homemade fudge recipe, made with just two ingredients! Melt in your mouth paleo fudge recipe anyone can make at home in their kitchen. Perfect freezer-friendly healthier candy option to have on hand.
I spent the day in freezing cold weather, the biting cold sure works up an appetite for something chocolatey.
…But then again, pretty much everything I do in life works up my appetite for chocolate, who am I kidding?
So a chocolate boost was called for and this fudge hit the spot, serving as the perfect pick me up!
What I love about this fudge recipe:
- 2 ingredients= so so easy!
- Healthier???
- Dairy free… and has a paleo version too!
- It can be stored in the freezer in a glasslock container for anytime of day snacking.
I’ve been in the chocolate mood all this week.
From the flourless chocolate cake I made last week, to leftover sweet potato brownies I have, ah um: had stashed in my freezer.
And of course, munching on chocolate chips here and there, because why not??
Chocolate for breakfast is aways my idea of a good balanced breakfast. 🙂
So this week, I kicked my morning off with these healthier chocolate donuts made with sweet potato- and no, they don’t taste like sweet potatoes.
After one of those glazed donuts for Monday breakfast, I thought it was a good idea to have some fudge for Wednesday. 🙂

A friendly warning to all you chocolate eaters out there:
The addiction is real, so you might have a hard time saying no to a second piece. 🙂
All good problems to have though, I promise.
The fudgey factor is real here and I’m so content letting this homemade candy melt away in my mouth.
If you don’t like chocolate, then you should probably leave now, because we are about to make some fudge…
Right???
- 2 cups chocolate chips or paleo chocolate bar
- 1 cup full fat canned coconut milk I use chaokoh brand

Love your recipes, but even more your food styling and photos of your meal.
Thank you so much Tia!
Would I be able to use Lily’s chips in this recipe? Thank you!
Yes, that should work!
What chocolate chips did you use? Wondering if 100% cacao chips would be good.
Hi Marci, I use enjoy life chocolate chips- they are DF, but not sugar free. There are lots of different paleo chocolate bars out there that will work, but I don’t suggest using 100% cocao.
Is it possible to use cocao powder instead of chocolate chips? And how much?
Hi Jill, that would really change the recipe, I don’t know how well it would go over. If you do I would suggest: 3/4 cup cocoa and 1 cup maple syrup or sweetener and a longer freezing time. I still don’t know exactly how it would turn out, because I haven’t tried it myself.
Hi! I just tried to make this, and I’m not sure if it was my coconut milk but it came out super watery and not very chocolatey! I used one of the big bars from Trader Joe’s and their coconut milk. Do you have any suggestions? Maybe I just bought a bad can?
Hi Sydney, I don’t recommend the Trader Joe’s milk at all! Make sure to use Thai Kitchen full fat canned coconut milk for best results. 🙂 Was your coconut milk full fat or watery?
How much chocolate in bar form and what percentage of cocoa? 70%?
Hi James, I use semi-sweet chocolate chips in this recipe, so chopped chocolate measured out the same would work. You could try a 70%.
Are the chocolate chips you use semisweet? They look like semisweet in the video but I wasn’t sure.
Yes, they are! I use the Costco semi-sweet dairy free chocolate chips for this recipe.
Can I use coconut cream instead of full fat milk?
Hi Leonora, that should work- I might add a bit of almond milk to thin it out a tad.
Can you just use the traditional Nestle semi-sweet choc chips?
Yes! I have done that and it works great. 🙂
Hey I was wandering if you could use full milk instead of coconut milk?
Hi Sari, cream would be the best sub. 🙂
Do I have to use coconut milk or can I use regular whole milk (unpasteurized)?
Hi Sarah, the canned coconut milk is thick and creamy and makes it hold together. 🙂
Looking so delicious.
