- Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang and cut it into 16 pieces.
Tips for Culinary Success

- For a firmer fudge, you can increase the coconut oil by an additional 1-2 tablespoons.
- If you prefer a sweeter fudge, adjust the amount of powdered erythritol to taste.
