A white ceramic bowl holds a stack of eight thick, square chocolate fudge pieces with rough edges, arranged in a loose pile. Each fudge piece is smooth with a dense, slightly textured surface and topped with a few sprinkles of coarse white sea salt. The bowl has a ribbed pattern on the outside and is lined with white parchment paper.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups 60% dark or higher chocolate (about 270g)
  • 3/4 cup thick coconut yogurt or Greek-style yogurt (unsweetened vanilla recommended)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: chopped nuts, dried fruit, or other toppings

Instructions

  1. Step 1: If using plain yogurt, stir in the vanilla extract. Let the yogurt sit at room temperature for a few minutes to warm slightly.
  2. Step 2: Line a small loaf pan or glass container with parchment paper and set it aside.
  3. Step 3: Melt the chocolate either in a double boiler or microwave. If microwaving, heat in 30-second increments, stirring well between each until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Quickly pour the melted chocolate over the yogurt. Using a spatula, fold the mixture until fully combined and uniform.
  5. Step 5: Immediately transfer the mixture into the lined pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with sea salt or your choice of toppings.
  6. Step 6: Freeze the fudge for a few hours or until firm, then cut into pieces and enjoy.

Tips & Variations

  • For sweeter fudge, use a sweetened but very thick yogurt to maintain texture and flavor balance.
  • Add chopped nuts or dried fruit for extra crunch and interest.
  • Using a higher percentage chocolate gives a richer, less sweet result.

Storage

Store fudge pieces in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer for up to 2 months. This fudge is best kept frozen as it may become too soft if refrigerated.

How to Serve

A stack of six thick, square chocolate fudge pieces sits inside a white ceramic bowl lined with white parchment paper. Each fudge piece is a rich dark brown color with a dense, smooth, and slightly crumbly texture. The top fudge piece has a bite taken out of one corner, showing the soft inside. A light sprinkle of coarse salt is scattered on the top surfaces, enhancing the texture and color contrast. The bowl is placed on a soft beige cloth with a white marbled surface and a white tiled wall blurred in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt for this recipe?

Regular yogurt tends to be thinner and may affect the fudge’s texture negatively. Thick coconut or Greek-style yogurt is recommended for the best results.

What if my chocolate seizes when mixing?

Work quickly when combining melted chocolate and yogurt to prevent seizing. Make sure the yogurt is close to room temperature and the chocolate is fully melted and smooth before mixing.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (about 270g) 60% dark or higher chocolate
  • 3/4 cup thick coconut yogurt or Greek-style yogurt (preferably unsweetened vanilla)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Chopped nuts, dried fruit, or other toppings (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Yogurt: Allow the yogurt to come close to room temperature by letting it sit out for a few minutes. If your yogurt is unflavored, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the fudge.
  2. Line the Pan: Line a small loaf pan or a glass tupperware container with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make removal easier later on.
  3. Melt the Chocolate: Using either a double boiler or microwave, melt the dark chocolate. For microwave method, heat the chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring thoroughly between each until smooth and fully melted.
  4. Combine Chocolate and Yogurt: Quickly pour the melted chocolate over the yogurt. Mix thoroughly with a spatula until the mixture is uniform and smooth. Be sure to work quickly to prevent the chocolate from hardening and creating a crumbly texture.
  5. Transfer and Freeze: Immediately pour the combined mixture into the prepared pan. Place the pan in the freezer and freeze for a few hours until the fudge has firmed up sufficiently.
  6. Cut and Serve: Once firm, remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into pieces and optionally sprinkle with flaky sea salt or your choice of toppings like chopped nuts or dried fruit.
  7. Storage: Store the fudge pieces in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer for up to 2 months. Avoid refrigerating as it can cause the fudge to become too soft.

Notes

  • For sweeter fudge, you can use sweetened yogurt, but ensure it is still very thick for the best texture.
  • The recipe works best with chocolate that has at least 60% cocoa content or higher for optimal flavor and richness.
  • Work quickly when mixing chocolate and yogurt to avoid the chocolate seizing or becoming crumbly.
  • Freezing is essential for setting the fudge; storing it in the fridge may make it too soft.
  • Feel free to add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or sprinkle flaky sea salt on top for added flavor and texture.
