→ Main Ingredients

01 - 400 g creamed coconut, chopped or grated
02 - 100 g fresh raspberries, thawed if frozen
03 - 1 tbsp lemon zest, finely grated
04 - 4 tbsp maple syrup

# Steps:

01 - Chop or grate the creamed coconut block. Line a loaf pan with cling film.
02 - Transfer the creamed coconut into a heat-proof bowl. Place the bowl in a shallow pan with an inch of hot water and melt, stirring frequently. Remove from heat once fully melted.
03 - Add raspberries, lemon zest, and maple syrup to the melted coconut. Blend using an immersion blender or food processor until smooth. Use a tall container if necessary.
04 - Press the blended mixture into the lined loaf pan. Refrigerate for 2 hours or freeze for 20-30 minutes until solid.
05 - Once firm, cut the fudge into squares or triangles.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Defrost frozen raspberries before blending to prevent the fudge from setting prematurely.
02 - Sugar-free maple syrup or stevia can be used as substitutes.
