Make these little melt in your mouth treats and maybe you’ll say the same thing. This Rose and Coconut Fudge tastes as it sounds… like rose-flavored coconut fudge. Drizzle a little chocolate on top and you’ve got chocolate and roses in one tiny bundle. This soft fudge is made with just five ingredients: rose water, coconut butter, beet juice, honey and water (chocolate is optional – but who am I kidding). For those unfamiliar with coconut butter – it’s the meat of the coconut (plus coconut oil). It’s rich and creamy and perfectly spreadable but only when warmed. If it’s cold outside – coconut butter will harden and become crumbly. To fix this, just put your jar (lid removed) in some simmering water over the stove. This hot water bath will make coconut butter nice and creamy. Once you’ve got your creamy coconut butter in hand, pour it into a bowl along with melted honey, beet juice and rose water. Add a tablespoon of hot water to help make the mixture even smoother. Spoon this mixture into a mold and put it in the freezer until it hardens. Allow it to come to room temp and then drizzle some chocolate on top! I think these little treats are perfect for Valentine’s Day (since ya know, they smell like roses and are bright pink). I know I’ll be getting chocolate + roses this year… in the form of these sweet little heart-shaped treats! Like this recipe?
