Gluten-Free Notes for Gluten-Free Dark Chocolate Fudge: This recipe is crafted using only certified gluten-free ingredients, ensuring it is safe for those avoiding gluten-containing grains.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups certified gluten-free all-purpose flour blend or almond flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar or coconut sugar
- 0.5 cup butter or coconut oil, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 cup certified gluten-free dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. This step ensures your fudge won't stick and is ready for baking.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter or coconut oil and granulated sugar or coconut sugar until the mixture is pale yellow and wonderfully fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Then, beat in the two large eggs one at a time, followed by the pure vanilla extract, ensuring each addition is fully incorporated.
- 3
Gradually add the certified gluten-free all-purpose flour blend or almond flour and the salt to the wet ingredients. Gently fold these dry ingredients in until they are just combined and no streaks of flour remain; be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture.
- 4
Carefully fold in the certified gluten-free dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. Once mixed, spread the fudge batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for a uniform finish.
- 5
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the edges appear set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Allow the fudge to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 2 hours; gluten-free baked goods firm up significantly as they cool, achieving their final texture.

Tips & Notes
- Almond flour compacts easily — always spoon it into the measuring cup, never scoop directly.
- Separate eggs when cold (the yolks are firmer), then let whites come to room temp before whipping.
- Softened butter should hold a fingerprint but not be greasy — if it melts on touch, it's too warm for creaming.
