Perfectly creamy and rich Salted Caramel Mocha Fudge with two layers that blend so perfectly together! Keep this fudge in the freezer or refrigerator and grab a quick bite when you need your sweets fix. Paleo & Vegan.
Hey guys! Nice to see you. My decision to post Sunday instead of Monday is totally throwing me off! Did you miss my fizzy all-fruit slushies from Sunday?
Seriously appropriate for the weather we’re having over here – 90+ and humid. Not my favorite and t’s giving me absolutely no desire to go outside. Except to get my run in at the exact coolest moment of the day – which happens to coincide with my typical running time of 6am, according to the weather channel app on my phone.
In other news, for those of you on my mailing list, you might have noticed I’m only sending emails 3 days per week – yet I’m still here and posting 5 times. You can simply scroll down in the email after the first post excerpt to see if I’ve posted in the days between emails. My WIAW and Thinking Out Loud posts are still going strong 🙂 You can also follow me on Bloglovin for the daily feed!
And now, back to this – the fudge! You know how I feel about fudge by now, I’m sure. I literally have to hold myself back from posting too many fudge recipes to close together – I’m always working on a new one and then get WAY excited about it.
This one, as you can see in the pictures, is lovely and layered 🙂 A salted caramel layer blends right in with a creamy, rich, and very chocolatey mocha layer! Sort of like a caramel macchiato in fudge form? Maybe better.
Oddly, even my kids liked this one (I thought it was just for grown-ups) and so it was gone in nearly record time. Emily now thinks she likes actual coffee. That is why I’ll never sweeten my own daily coffee – too likely that one of the kids will catch on and try to steal it.
As if they need more energy, seriously.
That totally sounds like something my grandma said to me when I was a kid. Heck, it’s something my dad still says about me right now! I don’t know what it looks like on the outside, but I can assure everyone my kids totally beat me in the energy department. Maybe it’s summer having its impact, but they now get up earlier, go to sleep later, and don’t stop moving during the time in between.
Except for the drawing tutorials, of course! Those are still going strong 🙂
In fact, they are on me right now to take them out somewhere, so I’ll have to get right to the caramel mocha fudge! I really, really hope you make it. I don’t say that for very many recipes, but seriously – it’s two layers and takes some time – but a little goes a long way! 100% worth the effort. Let’s go!

Salted Caramel Mocha Fudge {Paleo & Vegan}
Ingredients
For the Mocha Layer
- 3 oz unsweetened baking chocolate roughly chopped
- 3 tbsp organic coconut oil
- 1/4 cup coconut cream or thick part of a can of full fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup organic unrefined coconut palm sugar divided in half: 4 tbsp + 4 tbsp
- 1 tbsp instant coffee
- 1/2 cup sunflower butter or very smooth and creamy nut butter
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- generous pinch fine grain sea salt
For the Caramel Layer
- 5 tbsp organic coconut oil
- 5 tbsp organic coconut palm sugar
- 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk
- 1 tbsp sunflower butter or very smooth and creamy nut butter
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp fine grain sea salt
Instructions
First, make the mocha layer:
-
In a small saucepan over very low heat, melt the baking chocolate and coconut oil together while stirring.
-
Mix in the coconut cream, 4 tbsp (1/4 cup) of the coconut sugar, and the instant coffee and continue to stir until just melted. Remove from heat and stir a bit longer to fully dissolve the instant coffee, then set aside.
-
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sunflower butter (or other nut butter), the rest of the coconut sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
-
Add the second mixture to the saucepan and whisk together to fully combine. Transfer the mocha mixture to an 8 x 8 inch baking dish lined with parchment paper and chill in the freezer while you make the caramel layer.
To make the caramel layer:
-
In another small saucepan (or, you can wash the first) add just the coconut oil and melt over very low heat.
-
Add the coconut sugar and stir continuously for about a minute to combine. Then, continue to stir and add the coconut milk to the saucepan.
-
Stir and cook another minute or two keeping the heat at its lowest setting. When small bubbles begin to form, remove from heat.
-
Stir in the sunflower butter (or nut butter), vanilla, and sea salt and mix until very smooth. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes.
-
Remove the mocha layer from the freezer and carefully pour all the caramel over the top using a small rubber spatula. Spread out evenly, then cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator or freezer until completely firm. Once solid, cut into squares and serve! Store leftovers in the refrigerator (creamier texture) or freezer (more solid) and enjoy!
