Healthy Fudge (2 ingredients)
This healthy fudge is absolutely decadent, smooth, rich, & MELTS in your mouth! You will never guess that it's only made with 2 ingredients - yogurt and chocolate! It doesn’t contain any refined sugar or dairy butter.
Ingredients
Fudge
- 1 1/2 cups 60% dark or higher, chocolate (about 270g) *see notes
- 3/4 cup THICK coconut yogurt or greek style yogurt (I like to use unsweetened vanilla) *Runny yogurts won't work! I used Harmless Harvest Rich & creamy. See notes.
Optional
- pinch of sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- chopped nuts, dried fruit, etc!
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. It's important to note you want to work quickly once the chocolate is melted, as the mixture can seize and create a crumbly texture if the chocolate cools too much. Add the yogurt to a bowl and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes until it's almost at room temp. If you yogurt isn't flavored, you can stir in a teaspoon of vanilla so that your fudge has some flavor.
- Line a small loaf pan or glass tupperware container with parchment paper and set aside.
- 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. You'll want to work quickly as the mixture will harden as it cools.
- Once it's mixed together, quickly pour it into the pan. Place the pan in the freezer for a few hours until it has firmed up. Then cut into pieces. I like to sprinkle over flakey sea salt!
- 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.
