Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond butter (or other nut or seed butter)
  • 1 cup grass-fed butter (coconut oil for strict paleo or vegan)
  • 1/2 cup MCT oil (or coconut oil)
  • 1/2 cup cocoa butter
  • 10 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 6 tablespoons collagen powder (about 4 scoops - or vegan collagen powder)
  • 1/4 cup mushroom powder
  • 1/8 cup turmeric powder
  • 1/8 cup cinnamon powder
  • 1/8 cup maca powder
  • 1 cup low-carb sweetener powdered (or to taste)
  • 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Powder sweetener in a spice grinder or blender.
  • Place nut butter and solid butters in a medium saucepan over low heat.
  • Heat, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly melted and combined.
  • Turn off heat.
  • Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
  • Pour melted fudge ingredients into an 8x8 pan.
  • Freeze until solidified.

Notes

  • Mushroom Powder: Reishi gives this fudge a classic earthy, adaptogenic flavor, but lion's mane, chaga, turkey tail, or a quality mushroom blend all work well. Lion's mane has the mildest flavor. If you don't have mushroom powder, you can omit it or replace it with additional collagen, cocoa powder, or maca powder.
  • Nut & Seed Butters: Almond butter, sunflower seed butter, and tahini all work well. Tahini gives the closest flavor to traditional Phat Fudge.
  • Texture: Butter plus MCT oil makes a soft, creamy fudge. Replacing more of the butter with coconut oil creates a firmer fudge, especially when chilled.
  • Sweetness: Taste before pouring into the pan and adjust the sweetener if needed. Different sweeteners vary quite a bit in sweetness.
  • Storage: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for several months. It's best served chilled.
