Equipment

  • 8 X 8 inch Pan
  • Large Sauce Pan

Ingredients

Instructions

  • 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 saucepan over low heat). 
  • Stir constantly until the chocolate is smooth and just melted. Be careful not to scorch the chocolate. You want to melt it low and slow.
  • When the chocolate is melted, remove it from the heat and stir in the sweetened condensed milk, coconut extract, and vanilla extract. 
  • Pour the chocolate mixture into the 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 the 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.

Notes

How to Store Chocolate Coconut Fudge

We usually wrap it in plastic wrap (in a couple of large pieces), and then also place it in a large airtight container. If you are layering the pieces, you can use parchment paper to separate the layers. We usually do not refrigerate it as that seems to harden it up too much. Leaving it at room temperature is best! Slice the pieces before serving and it will taste fresher.
