Better for You Nut Butter Fudge

No, this is not a chilled peanut butter frosting mixture. No, it's not a ‘healthy’ imposter made with coconut cream, though there’s a time and place for that as well!  No marshmallow cream, no canned milk. A real cooked nut butter fudge that pairs deliciously with its chocolate cousin, and is made with real candied sugar.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • In the pot of your instant pot or in a stock pot for use on the stovetop (choose a large one, it will bubble up in later steps), combine sugar, coconut nectar, cream, and sea salt with a whisk, until all sugar is wet.
  • Clip on a candy thermometer so that the bulb is in the syrup but not touching the bottom of the pot, and turn the Instant Pot on to Saute-Medium. Alternatively, heat pan on the stovetop over medium heat.
  • Heat sugar mixture to soft ball stage (235* F) without stirring.
  • As the sugar mixture heats, prepare loaf pan by lining with parchment paper,so the parchment goes all the way up the sides of the loaf pan.
  • Once the syrup is at soft ball stage, remove from heat and stir in almond butter and vanilla.
  • Pour fudge into prepared loaf pan. Gently shake the loaf pan if needed to smooth the mixture into the corners.
  • Allow nut butter fudge to cool at room temperature, then cut into cubes.
  • Store in an airtight container between parchment for up to 3 weeks.
  • Enjoy!
