The texture is too hard to be fudge-like. Even after I left it in the fridge for several hours it was still hard enough to sort of crunch when I bit into it.
I ended up using a mix of almost ever sweetener in my cupboard and it definitely doesn't have that nasty taste chocolate can get with some non-caloric sweeteners.
Next time, I'll try it with coconut cream instead of butter and be ready to use a LOT more cocoa.

hhhmmm....did you use chocolate extract like I did or the peppermint from the original recipe? I really like the flavor of it with the chocolate extract, though it was a bit too overpowering at first. And mine def doesn't crunch. It's pretty creamy. Surely the sf pancake syrup couldn't make that much of a difference in the texture?
Still haven't tried it with the coconut milk yet....let us know how that goes. |
