OMG. Did you miss me? I thought about not posting and just sleeping for days instead, but what the hell would you eat for dessert this week?? And what would I eat for dessert?!?! That’s the real question. I hope you’re pumped for this recipe because it made me extremely happy. I kind of want to just post desserts all week after strict eating before Regionals. Strict eating made me slightly forget how much I love sweets, but don’t worry, I re-grew that part of my brain back on Sunday at Five Guys Burgers and Sweet Action Ice Cream. BOOM.
Ok, here’s my issue. Most posts I talk about what I did over the weekend. But most weekends aren’t Regionals…THE BEST WEEKEND OF THE YEAR. And I obviously have to have a post dedicated to this specific weekend. So I’ll kind of just recap.
Here’s how the weekend played out.
- I couldn’t eat anything the first day because I was so nervous.
- I couldn’t smile because I thought I was going to crap myself pretty much every second of the day.
- I got a personal record in my Diane time. Not crazy fast like the ladies in my heat, but I was pumped about it!
- I ate a ton more food the second day. Thank the lord for John at the Paleo Wagon and of Simply Pure Nutrients or I would have had absolutely no energy.
- I got the god damn 70lb dumbbell over my head. 40 times!!
- I got a personal record in my snatch. Did a happy dance. Then cried tears of pure joy. Not even joking.
- I drank more coconut water than I knew possible.
- I found out the heating area is a place you’re suppose to be serious in….I suck at that rule.
- I finished all my muscle ups.
- I met a bunch of people who read my blog!!
- I ached.
- I cheered.
- I laughed.
- I smiled.
- I drank a lot of Americanos.
- After the competition, I consumed gluten. In the form of a bun. It.was.epic. But I was ridiculously sick the rest of the night. Sergio regrets hanging around.
- And no, no CrossFit man asked me out. The bastards.
This weekend was absolutely the best weekend of my life. Hands down. Best people, best moments, best crowd. Everything was perfect. And I truly couldn’t be happier. Can’t wait to share all about it on Friday!
I missed a lot on Pinterest this weekend.
But I got Instagram!! Follow me @paleomg!
Now for food. Holy balls I love dessert.
Double Layer Fudge
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup raw honey
- 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 4–5 heaping tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- a handful of Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips or your choice of dark chocolate chips
- extra sprinkle of unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Add your coconut oil to a food processor. It doesn’t have to be melted so don’t you worry your little heart about melting it down!
- Then add your almond butter, unsweetened shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and honey and just a small pinch of salt.
- Mix all ingredients until fully combined.
- Pour half the ingredients into a bread pan and use a spoon to spread out evenly. It doesn’t matter what size bread pan you use. The smaller it is, the taller your fudge will be and vise versa.
- Place in freezer to harden.
- Then place food processor bowl back on the motor and add your cocoa powder. Add 1-2 tablespoons at a time, mixing as you go to make sure you don’t use too much.
- Once cocoa powder is incorporated in, add a pinch of salt, mix thoroughly, then pour your chocolate fudge on top of your now hardened light fudge.
- Sprinkle with chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and a bit of salt and place is freezer for 10-15 minutes.
- Cut into chunks.
- Eat the chunks.
- Store the leftover chunks in the fridge.
Notes
This serves either one person or a lot of people. You be the judge.

Can you please stop making such delicious looking treats? But not seriously. I want to make all of them and I’m the only one around to eat them. It’s a problem. A good problem though.
Congratulations Juli!! So excited for your accomplishments. This dessert looks like the kind that I would hide from everyone so I could eat it all by myself. Yummm!
You did great. I hated that you were a time zone away and that it took an extra hour to get score updates. Between checking to see how you were doing and whether Spealler would pull it out (you knew he would), it was a suspensful weekend. Now that I see your personal PRs and highlights, I’m even more stoked.
Nice.
I can’t wait to try this! I might make it for my Momma on Mother’s Day, that’s only a little selfish 🙂 I knew that snatch was a new PR when you got it you were so excited! You were inspirational to watch, your muscle ups were so consistant and your attitude was amazing, who busts out dance moves between muscle ups? Juli Bauer that’s who, seriously you make me want to push myself and get better but not forget that CrossFit is fun, thank you!! I’d like to request in your Regionals post a little background on your set up for snatch the jump and the yell, I love it and I’m curious how it works I’ve been stuck at this weight for months and I want to breakthough and go heavier. Okay this post is creepy long… congratulations on Regionals you are an inspiration!!
SJ- Haha dancing tends to come naturally for me when I’m stuck not being able to do another muscle up because I’m nervous to fail on the dip. As for the snatch, I had never stomped my feet or yelped like that before. Literally have no idea where that came from lol. But it worked I guess. I hear yelling increasing your heartrate and adrenaline which in turn helps your lifts. worth a try!
I didn’t realize how addicted I was to your blog until I had to go a few days without reading it. Congrats on Regionals, I know it must feel good! I don’t do Crossfit, but I play volleyball and I am getting really pumped about the Adult National Tournament at the end of this month in Salt Lake City…I can’t wait.
Thanks for all the great dessert recipes. I have been wanting to make the chocolate coconut stacks, but have been putting it off because I still have some coconut flour brownies to get through. Now you just gave me more desserts to look forward to! Why do you have to be so awesome? 😉
Amazing job on Regionals!!!! You are such an inspiration. Your posts give me something to laugh and smile (and drool) about everyday. Again, way to go at Regionals. You rock, girl!
“This serves either one person or a lot of people. You be the judge.”
Best quote ever.
It sounds like you had a great time this weekend! I love reading your blog. You have so much enthusiasm…it’s addicting. Kind of like this fudge is going to be. 😉 I was wondering though, when do I add the vanilla? I didn’t really notice I missed it until the first layer was in the freezer…so I added it to the chocolate mix. Oops.
Congrats on your regionals performance! Meanwhile, I am just happy I didn’t keel over and die after completing “Jack” last night.
And by Jack, I mean the WOD, not as in “I did jack shit last night.” /end clarification
We watched you with total admiration at the Regionals this weekend, Juli. Thank you for your inspiration, your sweet smile, and for taking time to let us take a group picture with you ~
Oh, and I’m going to definitely try this recipe!
