Traditional fudge recipes have always intimidated me. Even though I have always loved coconut fudge, I had never tried making the traditional fudge before. It has always seemed to be a bit too sweet for my taste. And meddling with quantity of sugar can ruin the texture of the fudge. How ever, everything changed when I tasted this version of the coconut fudge at a friend’s place. I immidiately asked her for the recipe which she was glad to share.


I decided to make this at the next available opportunity. I followed the recipe verbatim without making any changes. Needless to say I was rewarded with wonderfully chewy and moist coconut fudge. The wonderful thing about the dish is, it uses some sparse ingredients, it is so simple to prepare and yet, it has the elegance of taste.
