Last night
was a late night for me, I was up until all hours making a few Easter treats for the
children – I ended up with some Coconut Balls (raw figs, dates, nuts, almond butter), Fig Newtons, Cashew & Date Bars and Coconut
Fudge.
The one
thing I have mentioned to people time and again about the way we eat, is how we
are never deprived. How I don’t miss sugar or any other addictive substance
because we eat so much better and are quite satisfied with our food.
There is a
way around everything and a way to have your cake (or cookies or dessert) without
adding or using anything nasty in the
recipe. This is just good wholesome food the way it was intended to be –
homemade of course.
So – for a
treat at any time of the year and something that I would consider to be far superior
in taste – try some Coconut Fudge. It can be made with any number of things, we
like to use fresh organic orange zest, but I also like lime and lemon too or sometimes a few berries.
The taste
of coconut and orange is refreshing without the guilt or after taste (I never
like the way my body felt even an hour after eating sugar) of eating sugar. This fudge also nice crumbled
over a cake or some other dessert as a topping.
Coconut Fudge
1 package
creamed coconut
3
tablespoons honey
2
tablespoons grated orange zest
To make
coconut fudge is easy! All you need to do is melt the creamed coconut in a
small saucepan over a low heat. As it melts, add in the honey and keep stirring
gently to ensure it is all melted.
Once there
is only liquid in the saucepan turn off the heat and stir in the orange zest.
You may also use lime or lemon if desired. For a little extra citrus taste add
1 tablespoon orange juice.
Pour out
this coconut cream into a shallow dish (I cover the bottom in parchment paper) and place in the fridge to cool until it is set. As it cools it will harden – you can
then cut it into pieces – just like any other fudge.
This tastes
great and the best part – it’s sugar free!
