Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups coconut oil
- 1 cup cacao powder
- 1 cup nut butter
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. stevia (to taste)
Directions
-
Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan.
-
Add cacao powder and nut butter and stir until well-blended.
-
Add vanilla and stevia to taste – just a little at a time will suffice – too much and it will start to taste bitter.
-
Measure one Tablespoon into each square of an ice cube tray and freeze. (You can also freeze it in a 9×13 pan and simply break into pieces.)
-
After about 1 hr. you can twist the ice cube trays and they’ll pop out just like ice cubes. (They melt quickly at room temperature).
Recipe Notes
Note: You can omit the nut butter if desired, but they will lose their 'fudgy' texture. We've also had fun dropping an almond into each square of the ice cube tray for a nice surprise when you bite into it.
