Carob Freezer Fudge

Directions

For the Syrup

1. Break each of the carob pods into 3 or 4 pieces and soak them in the water overnight.

2. Boil the pods, in the water they soaked in, for 1 hour. Strain the fluid through a sieve into a sauce pan, while pressing the pods. Add the rest of the syrup ingredients and boil for 1 - 1½ hours depending on your desired thickness. Let cool. Makes about 1 quart of syrup.

To Make the Fudge

1. Line a glass dish with parchment paper.

2. Melt the coconut oil in a medium sauce pan and remove from the heat. Whisk in the rest of the fudge ingredients and then transfer to a blender. Purée until smooth.

3. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and place in the freezer overnight.

4. Once solid, cut into bite size pieces. Store extra fudge in a covered container in the freezer.
