Ingredients

For the Fudge:

• 1 cup (240ml) coconut milk (full-fat for creamier texture)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Coconut Milk Mixture

1. Combine Coconut Milk and Gurmae Jaggery: In a saucepan over medium heat, add the coconut milk and coconut jaggery cubes. Stir the mixture constantly until the jaggery dissolves completely into the coconut milk.

Step 2: Cook the Fudge Base

2. Add Shredded Coconut and Coconut Oil: Once the jaggery is dissolved, add the shredded coconut, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the saucepan. Continue stirring to combine everything.
   
   
3. Simmer: Let the mixture simmer for about 5–7 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan.
   
   

Step 3: Set the Fudge

4. Transfer to a Pan: Once the mixture thickens, transfer it into a greased or parchment-lined square or rectangular pan (8×8-inch works well).
   
   
5. Press and Flatten: Use a spatula to spread and press the mixture evenly in the pan.
   
   

Step 4: Add Optional Toppings

6. Optional Add-ins: If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts, dried fruits, or a pinch of cardamom/cinnamon over the fudge mixture. Press lightly into the top.

Step 5: Cool and Cut
