Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love this recipe because it’s made from real, nourishing ingredients without any unnecessary additives. It doesn’t require an oven or special tools, and I can prepare it in minutes. I also enjoy that it’s naturally higher in protein, customizable for different diets, and perfect to keep in the freezer for a quick treat.

Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 1/2 cups 60% dark or higher chocolate (about 270 g)
3/4 cup thick coconut yogurt or Greek-style yogurt (unsweetened vanilla works great)
Optional: pinch of sea salt, 1 tsp vanilla extract, chopped nuts, or dried fruit
I prefer using full-fat, thick yogurt for the best creamy texture. When I make it dairy-free, I choose coconut yogurt, and for vegan versions, I reach for a Greek-style plant-based one. I also use quality dark chocolate since it defines the flavor—at least 60% cacao works perfectly.
Directions
I start by letting the yogurt sit at room temperature for a few minutes so it isn’t too cold. This prevents the chocolate from seizing later.
I line a small loaf pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
In a medium bowl, I melt the chocolate using either a double boiler or the microwave. If microwaving, I heat it in 30-second increments, stirring between each round until smooth.
Once the chocolate is completely melted, I pour it over the yogurt and mix quickly with a spatula until smooth and well combined.
I then pour the mixture into the lined pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle some flaky sea salt if I like.
The pan goes into the freezer for a few hours until the fudge firms up. Once set, I cut it into small squares and enjoy.
I usually keep the fudge in an airtight container in the freezer—it stays perfect for weeks!

Variations
Mint Chocolate Fudge: I mix in 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract for a refreshing twist.
Peanut Butter Fudge: I swirl 1/4 cup of peanut butter into the top before freezing.

Storage/Reheating
I store my fudge in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag in the freezer for up to 2 months. It’s meant to be stored frozen since it can become too soft if kept in the fridge. When I want a piece, I simply take it out and let it sit for a few minutes before enjoying. There’s no need to reheat—it’s perfect cold and creamy.
FAQs
How do I keep the chocolate from seizing?
I make sure my yogurt isn’t too cold and mix the melted chocolate in while it’s still warm. This keeps the mixture smooth and creamy.
What kind of yogurt works best?
Thick yogurt is key! I like Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt. Runny or low-fat yogurts don’t set as well.
Can I make this vegan?
Yes! I use a dairy-free Greek-style yogurt and vegan dark chocolate to make it completely plant-based.
Can I make it sweeter?
If I want a sweeter fudge, I replace a small portion of dark chocolate with milk chocolate or add a few drops of stevia or monk fruit sweetener.
What’s the texture like?
The fudge is rich, smooth, and creamy with a subtle tang from the yogurt. It’s firm when frozen but melts perfectly in my mouth.
