Chocolate and Coconut Fudge

If you love Coconut Rough, this Chocolate and Coconut Fudge is for you!

Last year I made Coconut Rough for the first time and fell in love again with both the taste and just how easy it is to make! This Chocolate and Coconut Fudge requires just three ingredients and if you like Coconut Rough, you are going to LOVE this fudge.

To give the coconut a little more flavour, I lightly toasted it under the grill for just a couple of minutes (if you choose to do this make sure you keep a VERY close eye on it) until it just started to turn a lovely golden brown colour, however this step is completely optional and I promise it will still taste just as good using coconut that hasn’t been toasted.

Like practically ALL of my fudge recipes, this Chocolate and Coconut Fudge is based on my 2 Ingredient Chocolate Fudge recipe and it takes less than 20 minutes (even less if you are using a Thermomix) to put together.   I like to leave it overnight to set, however after around 7 hours it should be firm enough to cut.
