Ingredients

▢ 550 g icing sugar (powdered sugar)
▢ 100 g cocoa powder (unsweetened)
▢ 3 tbsp orange zest (30g, approx zest from 6 large oranges)
▢ 200 g coconut oil (melted and then cooled to room temperature)
▢ 100 g dairy free cream (long life variety (we used soya))

Optional Topping:

▢ candied orange peel

Instructions

Line a 20cm x 20cm (8” x 8”) baking tin or dish with non-stick parchment paper.
Note: The size of the dish does not have to be exact but opt for one that is a similar size so that your fudge does not turn out too thick or too thin.
In a large bowl, sift in the icing sugar and cocoa. Add the orange zest and stir together.

Add the room-temperature melted coconut oil and dairy free cream to the bowl. Stir until combined and then beat the mixture for 30 seconds until it is smooth.
Optional: At this point you can stir in a handful of roasted chopped hazelnuts if you’d like a bit of crunch to your fudge.
200 g coconut oil, 100 g dairy free cream
Pour the chocolate orange fudge mixture into the lined baking tin/dish and cover it with tin foil or a reusable wrap. Place the tin in the fridge to set for at least 2 hours.
Once the fudge has fully set, cut it into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife.
Tip: To slice the fudge as cleanly as possible, we recommend running the knife under hot water and then drying it between each cut. The warmth of the knife will make it easier to cut the fudge in a clean line.
Note: We recommend cutting this recipe into 49 or 64 pieces, which is either 7 or 8 rows tall by 7 or 8 rows wide.
We recommend decorating the fudge with candied peel for added colour and citrus flavour. You can get a recipe for homemade candied peel here.
