This easy coconut oil fudge is a variation on my dairy-free fudge made with cocoa butter. Personally I love the extra chocolaty richness that you get when you use cocoa butter, but I know not everyone wants to track down that somewhat unfamiliar ingredient. So I decided to come up with a coconut oil version.
This coconut oil fudge is great! It’s still dairy-free, but unlike the cocoa butter fudge it’s also rich in coconut flavor. If you’re looking for another way to add coconut oil to your diet, this healthy fudge should be on your must-try list.
If you don’t like the flavor of coconut, you can try using refined coconut oil instead of virgin coconut oil. I haven’t tried this myself, though, so can’t comment on whether you might also have the adjust the amounts of the other ingredients.
I usually make a double batch of this, since it keeps so well in the freezer.

Immersion blender: I highly recommend using an immersion blender to ensure that the honey is thoroughly emulsified with the other ingredients. You CAN do this in your regular blender or even food processor, but I like using my immersion blender because it means I have fewer dishes to wash. (Fewer dishes is pretty much one of my life goals.) I have this this immersion blender and have been very happy with it.
8 x 8 glass baking dish: I cool all of my fudge recipes in Pyrex baking dishes. When making a single recipe, I use this 8 x 8 baking dish. For a double recipe, I use this large rectangular baking dish. You can use any sort of glass or ceramic dish that you want.
Coconut milk: I always buy this brand of coconut milk because it comes in a carton and is free of gums and preservatives. In my experience, the best price can be found at your local Asian market, but you can also buy it online here.

Ingredients
- 3/4 cups virgin coconut oil
- 3/4 cups cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/3 cup raw honey
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Melt coconut oil in a small saucepan on your stovetop.
- Once the coconut oil is melted, remove from heat. Add all other ingredients and use your immersion blender to mix. If at any point the mixture becomes too thick to mix, return it to the stovetop and gently heat until it's liquid enough to work with.
- Line a glass baking dish with parchment paper.
- Pour fudge into your prepared pan, then transfer to the fridge to cool. If you want to speed up the process, you can also cool in the freezer.
- Once fudge is solid and firm (this usually takes several hours), cut it into bite-sized pieces, or whatever size you prefer.
- Store finished coconut oil fudge in a lidded container in your freezer.
