Do you have unsweetened shredded coconut, by chance? You can make your own coconut butter (see recipe notes). If not, I’m afraid to suggest a substitute—the cool thing about coconut butter is that it solidifies somewhat when chilled, which helps keep the fudge together.

Hi there – I’m missing a step. After I take it out of the freezer , when should I cut it? It was rock hard and broke into a bunch of pieces (albeit delicious pieces!) how long do you thaw for the desired consistency ? And just keep putting back in the freezer and thawing every time ?

Hi Erusha, that’s a good question. I haven’t worked with cacao butter. Coconut butter solidifies at cold temps, which is important to the consistency, so I would recommend sticking with coconut.

I’m sorry, I don’t think so. The coconut butter has fiber in it that I suspect is essential to the recipe.

It’s melted, sorry about that!
