Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups 60% dark or higher, chocolate (about 270g) *see notes
  • 3/4 cup THICK vanilla coconut yogurt or vanilla greek yogurt *Runny yogurts won't work! I used Harmless Harvest Rich & creamy. I also like the high protein Culina yogurt.
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter

Optional additions

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • chopped peanuts, for topping
  • good pinch sea salt
  • maple syrup *if you want a sweeter fudge

Instructions
 

  • Note for making sweeter fudge: You can use a sweetened yogurt, but be sure the yogurt is still veryyyy thick for the best results! (It's still super yummy and sweet with unsweetened yogurt, though!).
  • In a large bowl, add the yogurt and peanut butter, mixing well until it's combined. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes until it's almost room temp. If the yogurt you're using isn't flavored, you can stir in a teaspoon of vanilla so that your fudge has some flavor. You can also add add 1-2 tbsp of maple syrup to your yogurt, mixing it in well for a sweeter fudge.
  • Line a small loaf pan or glass tupperware container with parchment paper and set aside.
  • NOTE: You'll want to work quickly once the chocolate is melted, as if you let it cool too much it can seize when mixed into the yogurt creating chunks.
  • Either using the double boiler method or microwave, melt the chocolate. Microwave – In a medium bowl, add the chocolate. Heat in 30 second increments, stirring well between each, until completely smooth.
  • Once the chocolate is smooth, pour it over the yogurt. Using a spatula, mix the two together well until uniform. Then pour it into the prepared pan. You can press chopped peanuts and flakey sea salt into the top. Then, place the pan in the freezer for a few hours until it has firmed up.
  • Once firm, cut into pieces. Store the fudge pieces in an air-tight container or freezer bag in the freezer for up to 2 months! This recipe is formulated to be kept in the freezer and they may become too soft if kept in the fridge!

Notes

 
*yogurt: full-fat yogurt seems to create the best texture fudge! Regardless, it is important to use a THICK coconut yogurt or greek yogurt! If the yogurt is runny, it won’t work and set up properly. Low fat yogurt will probably work if it’s greek-style and super thick!
*chocolate: It’s important that the chocolate is a somewhat darker chocolate (60% or higher) as milk chocolates don’t firm up correctly due to the milk content. Being it’s made with darker chocolate, it may not be as sweet as something made with milk chocolate. If you want something sweeter, you can try substituting 1/4 cup milk chocolate chips for 1/4 cup of the darker chocolate, but the fudge may come out just a tad bit softer in texture. Maybe try letting it freezer overnight or for a day or so to give it extra time to firm. Or you could also try adding a few drops of stevia or monk fruit.
