This coconut fudge sauce is simply dreamy!

Like many of you, I enjoy a sweet treat now and again. Since I work from home, I don’t have many of the temptations that come with working in an office or other type of company, but I do remember the temptations that people would bring into work to “share” (ahem… get rid of). They seemed to be everywhere!

Clean Eating Coconut Fudge Sauce Recipe (1)

Now that my morning commute is from my bedroom to my living room, I find that even with no temptations in the house, I still sometimes want a little something extra. Maybe it’s the emotional thing or even a hormonal thing, but it just wouldn’t be the same to make a salad for dessert instead of something a little more like this.

How To Use This

  • Warm it up and pour it over some vanilla ice cream!
  • Use it as a dipping sauce for fruit, pretzels, or even pita.
  • Pour it into a parchment-lined casserole dish and freeze it! Then cut it into squares and enjoy it like a freezer fudge. (Hint: it has to be stored in the freezer, not the fridge, once it’s done)

Note: This recipe was adapted from a recipe at The Brown Eyed Baker.

  1. Do you have a recipe for clean eating dog biscuits. I know my daughter-in-law follows you as well, and she likes to use your recipes. The treats would be for their dogs. Thanks so much.

    Karen B.

    Have tons of your recipes by the way. Tasty!!

    1. Karen – I don’t! But I don’t have a dog either, unfortunately. I may take a crack at it though at some point. You aren’t the first to ask. 🙂

  2. This makes a lovely sauce. We also accidentally discovered that when you put it in the fridge it hardens into a lovely and smooth truffle-like chocolate. We now make it, pour it into espresso cups, and then harden it in the fridge for a decadent dessert when we have company.

  3. Clean Eating Coconut Fudge Sauce Recipe (10)
    Hello Tiffany,
    I figure it is time for me to validate for you how lovely and delicious this recipe is, and how it remains the central part of my family’s holiday season! Growing up in Maine, I savored my Nana’s annual creation of homemade cream puffs with ice cream inside and warm chocolate sauce drizzled over the top. As I began raising my own children, we stood at the stove together, some on stools, to briskly whisk the butter and confectionery sugar based sauce. Yes, it was glorious, and the flavor took me back to my childhood, but I began to feel a strange headache when I ate that type of sugar—-every time I cooked with it! I also realized that the ingredients of that traditional recipe were not in line with how I was feeding my family outside of the holidays. I am all for targeted indulgence, especially in the name of nostalgia and family memories, but I decided that I could embrace the spirit that my salt-of-the-earth grandmother had, and come up with a recipe alternative to suit the needs of this new generation. Serendipitously, I quite quickly googled upon your amazing recipe, which ticked all of the boxes on my wish list. I was thrilled I didn’t need to create my own concoction from scratch, as that could have easily been a nightmare. This recipe was an instant hit, right away, with absolutely everyone, including my discerning cousins who have special taste buds for Nana’s original sauce. My kids love that the preparation of this recipe in much less labor intensive, thus allowing them to make batches upon batches for their teachers and friends. Our family is now known for this annual sauce, and its preparation remains the most special memory we create each year together in the kitchen. My teens now tower over me at the stove, but still happily don red aprons and Santa hats, whisks in hand, and carols in the air. I figure that maybe you might appreciate the impact of your recipe on my family, and the enduring cheer it inspires. Thank you for your time and for your posting!

    1. Amy – Oh my goodness!! Thank you so much for sharing that with me! You totally made my day! I’m a firm believer in the memories food creates. They are unparalleled. I’m so honored to be part of your family traditions in this way. Thank you again for sharing that, and happy holidays! 😀

FAQs

What's the difference between chocolate sauce and fudge? ›

Hot fudge is made by boiling together cream, sugar, chocolate, and sometimes butter—the traditional ingredients for fudge—into what is essentially just an undercooked, unset version of the confection. It differs from plain old chocolate sauce by virtue of being gooier and more viscous.

What is the difference between fudge and syrup? ›

Ingredients: Hot fudge sauce is typically made with chocolate, sugar, butter, and cream or milk, while chocolate syrup is made with cocoa powder, sugar, and water or milk. Consistency: Hot fudge sauce has a thicker and creamier consistency than chocolate syrup, which tends to be thinner and more liquidy.

Why is my fudge sauce grainy? ›

It's important to beat the fudge ingredients to develop the right texture, but you won't get smooth, creamy fudge if you beat it when it's too hot. Beating fudge when it's still over heat creates sugar crystals, aka the grittiness you feel in the fudge.

Is fudge healthier than chocolate? ›

Fudge typically contains more sugar than chocolate, so it may not be the best choice for those looking to limit their sugar intake. On the other hand, dark chocolate is a good source of antioxidants and can provide health benefits when consumed in moderation.

What is fudge sauce made of? ›

Heat Ingredients: Combine sugar, light corn syrup, heavy cream, salt and water to a saucepan and stir well. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring well. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. Add Chocolate Mixture: Pour the chocolate mixture into the syrup and stir until smooth.

Why don't you stir fudge? ›

Never stir the mixture during cooking or sugar could crystallize again. The mixture may seize and become grainy. Use a candy thermometer or conduct a cold water test to check if the fudge is done.

What is ganache vs fudge? ›

Although the two are made from similar ingredients, they'll wind up with different consistencies. Ganache might solidify slightly but will remain smooth as a filling or icing. Fudge, meanwhile, will be soft enough to easily bite into while being solid enough to hold its shape after it has time to set up.

What makes fudge taste like fudge? ›

Fudge incorporates sugar, milk, butter, and other ingredients such as cocoa for chocolate fudge. The chocolatier then heats these products together until they melt. After this, the mixture is beaten during the cooling process. Think of fudge as a food consisting of crystallized sugar.

What is the secret to good fudge? ›

You have to control two temperatures to make successful fudge: the cooking temperature AND the temperature at which the mixture cools before stirring to make it crystallize. Confectionery experiments have shown that the ideal cooking temperature for fudge is around 114 to 115 °C (237 to 239 °F).

How do you make fudge creamy and not grainy? ›

A lot of big crystals in fudge makes it grainy. By letting the fudge cool without stirring, you avoid creating seed crystals. Stirring would help sucrose molecules "find" one another and start forming crystals.

Why is my old fashioned fudge not hardening? ›

Fudge usually behaves this way when it's not cooked to a high enough temperature (due to oversight or a faulty candy thermometer).

What is the difference between sauce and fudge? ›

Answer: The big difference between fudge and sauce is the texture. Fudge tends to be thicker and more indulgent, while sauce is noticeably thinner. Sauce also has sugar and water or corn syrup, while fudge uses heavier ingredients like cream and butter.

Are chocolate and fudge the same thing? ›

Although fudge often contains chocolate, fudge is not the same as chocolate. Chocolate is a mix of cocoa solids, cocoa butter and sometimes sugar and other flavorings and is hard and brittle. Fudge is a mixture of sugar, dairy and flavorings that is cooked and cooled to form a smooth, semi-soft confection.

What is a fancy name for chocolate sauce? ›

synonyms: chocolate syrup. types: fudge sauce, hot-fudge sauce.

Are chocolate sauce and chocolate syrup the same thing? ›
