Coconut Almond Fudge
Make 16 pieces
by Sandy Schrecengost
Ingredients:
1 cup coconut oil, at room temperature
1/2 cup soaked almond butter
1 tbsp raw honey
1 tsp vanilla
pinch of sea salt
1/2 cup roasted almonds, chopped & divided (garnish)
Instructions:
In the bowl of a food processor, combine coconut oil, almond butter, honey, vanilla and sea salt.
Coconut Oil, at room temperature
Homemade Almond Butter
Raw Honey
Pure Vanilla Extract
Blend until well mixed, about 30 seconds.
In the bottom of an ungreased 8×8 glass baking pan, spread 1/4 cup of the chopped almonds.
Pour coconut mixture as evenly as possibly into the 8×8 pan, over-top of the chopped almonds. Use a spatula to evenly spread the coconut mixture.
Sprinkle remaining chopped almonds evenly over top. Freeze for 10 minutes.
Score using a paring knife. Return to the freezer for an additional 20 minutes. Store fudge in the freezer until 5 minutes before service. Allow to rest at room temperature for 5 minutes, fully cut and serve. Return any leftovers to the freezer.

I actually spoke with my nutritionist about the benefits of Coconut oil and Alzheimers disease yesterday. My husband’s dad died of it about 10 years ago, very slow, brutal death. If we only knew then what we know now. She is seeing terrific results with some of her patients.
Anyway, she suggested we start with a small amount 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp a day and gradually work up to 2 to 4 Tbsp a day. My hubby currently puts about 1-2 Tbsp in his oatmeal in the morning. The rest is consumed through my cooking/sauting with it. Honestly, he has no signs of the disease. thank God, but his demeanor has definitely improved since starting :o) He’s a happy man!
I’m off to make some Coconut Almond Fudge, yippee!

My boyfriend is allergic to Honey. Is there a good substitute for it?

I think maple syrup would be a good substitution for the honey

Made this today. The texture is amazing–buttery good. I needed chocolate, so added expresso chocolate chips and grated coconut for added flavor. Will experiment with molassas and agave next time. Also, make sure to put leftovers in freezer to keep them from falling apart.

Any chance there is a nut-free version of this recipe? We have sunflower seed butter or soy butter, not sure how well that would work?

I don’t have one yet, but I bet you could work one out with Sunflower Seed Butter, or maybe Tahini. Let us know how it goes for you!

Hi Molly, just found your website–looks great. quick question–I soak and dehydrate all my nuts, so I know about that, but what is soaked almond butter? I use organic raw almond butter (by “Nuts to You”); can I use this in my recipe??
thanks!January 31, 2013 -

You can use regular almond butter, but it simply still has the phytic acid that you remove when soaking nuts. If you soak almonds first, then make almond butter at home, you have a much more health supportive almond butter – here’s a link: http://www.organicspark.com/portfolio/homemade-dehydrated-almond-butter/

Looks good. How much coconut oil is Ed receiving a day?

No sure, but Dr. Mary Newport has a book called Alzheimer’s Disease – What if there was a Cure? I’m sure that would have dosing suggestions.
