Method
 

  1. Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy lifting.

Notes

  • For the cleanest slices, chill well, then cut with a warm knife (run under hot water, wipe dry between cuts).
  • Refined coconut oil keeps the fudge neutral; unrefined adds coconut flavor.
  • Honey or agave can replace maple syrup; thinner sweeteners may make a softer set.
  • Swap pistachios with almonds, walnuts, or pecans.
  • Keep this fudge refrigerated for best texture.
