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.

i’ve been following you for the past month or so as i was guided here by a friend when i told her i was looking for paleo recipes.
just completing TODAY my first Whole30, and i feel great! don’t miss sugar most days, but i want to have fun food tomorrow on mother’s day. can you share how you balance sugar in your life for this paleo-newbie? i’m SCARED i’ll indulge and be right back at square one, even though i’m not going to reintroduce refined sugar.
thanks for all you share. i was floored by all you accomplished at Regionals, and by the CF workout in general.
It’s tough sometimes. I usually make sweets and try to give most of them away before I eat them all. It’s just teaching yourself some self restraint but it’s definitely hard.
Congrats on your performance at regionals!!!
I just made this fudge and words can hardly describe my delight.
I used all natural peanut butter and apple butter instead of almond butter (peanut butter is on my “I don’t care if it’s paleo I’m eating it anyway” list). It turned out way better than I could have ever dreamed.
I made it with the intention of sharing the fudge at my lab meeting tomorrow… I highly doubt it will last that long.
Congrats on you Regional performance! Recipe looks great, can’t wait to try it. As for the guys not asking you out, they are bastards and if you are ever in the Asheville, NC area hit me up on FB and I’ll show you the sights. Keep up the great work.
I could kiss you for making creating this. It is one of the most wonderful desserts I have ever had. So easy, the texture is amazing, nom nom nom.
These are AMAZING!!! There are only two negatives about this recipe: they are eaten too quickly (I can’t seem to save the for another day), and the lighter layer melts very quickly when holding it. I might try adding some some almond meal to just that portion that forms the bottom layer. The top that has the cocoa powder added is fine.
The recipe sounds delish!! I’m new to your blog and so far I love it. However, I notice that you use coconut milk in a lot of your recipes. I don’t work out as regularly as I should (understatement!) and I worry if the amount of calories in the coconut milk would give me negative results. Am I just making something out of nothing?
I would definitely be careful and try not to overindulge in the desserts but that’s how it is with any food.
Wow!!! These are so delicious! I bookmarked these to make for my dad when he visits, as I have always made chocolate peanut butter fudge for him. I just finished making them, and wow is all I can say! Thanks for a paleo version of a family favorite! I made a double batch to put in a 9×9 🙂
I took this fudge to a party yesterday and it was a hit. The only minus is that they can’t sit out at room temperature for very long or it turns into fudge sauce, but as someone pointed out “ice cream!” So still not so bad.
haha that blows! hope it still tasted good!
I made this for my wife last night and she loved it. She couldn’t believe that it was legal and Paleo.
Very good and very easy. The ingredients were really expensive though. I paid $11 for a jar of coconut oil and $8 for almond butter. I have to find cheaper suppliers in Toronto.
Made this today, delicious! As a complete choco-holic, this recipe was perfect.
