Jamaican Fudge Recipes

CREAMY CHOCOLATE COCONUT FUDGE

Steps:

• Line an 8x8 or 11x7 glass baking dish with wax paper or foil and spray with baking spray. Set aside. (TIP: Make the wax paper extra long so the paper goes up and over the sides of the baking dish, that way you can just pull it out of the pan when the fudge sets)
• Combine semisweet chocolate chips, dark chocolate chunks, and coconut oil in a double boiler (or medium sized sauce pan over low heat).
• Stir constantly until chocolate is smooth and just melted. Be careful not to scorch the chocolate. You want to melt it low and slow.
• When chocolate is melted, remove from heat and stir in the sweetened condensed milk, coconut extract, and vanilla extract.
• Pour chocolate mixture into prepared baking dish. Set aside.
• Heat oven to 325-degrees.
• Spread coconut out evenly on a baking sheet and bake for about 5-10 minutes or until golden brown (you may want to stir it after a few minutes to get even coloring).
• Watch the coconut closely-- it will brown quickly!
• Remove toasted coconut from the oven and sprinkle evenly on top of the fudge (the fudge should still be warm).
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set. Cut into 36 squares.
