I'm wondering how it would work using raw carrots or carrot pulp from juicing. They sound wonderful!
I think it would work perfectly. I was thinking of using grated raw carrots in the crunchy version to begin with. The carrot pulp should work well too since I'm guessing you have a Vitamix. Let me know how it comes out.
Congratulations on being the reader favorite in the last AIP Recipe Roundtable. This recipe looks delicious!
I just made the creamy version of this for the first time last night & had a piece (or 2) with breakfast. It was SO good. I'm just eating lunch at work right now & wishing I'd brought some! Thanks for the great recipe!
Thank you for the wonderful compliment. I love it when people on restricted diets can enjoy something delicious but healthy!
Would this work with sweet potato?
could you use all coconut oil for either of the recipes?
thanks so much!!
You definitely could use all coconut oil but you also might want to consider subbing some seed or nut butter for some of the coconut butter to get a more creamy texture. Let me know how it comes out.
Oh, what a great idea! Using pureed sweet potato, pumpkin or butternut squash would definitely give some creaminess to the fudge.
Wow sheree I haven't made this yet...but my mouth is watering!!
Thanks so much for the inspiration. Well when I first looked at Paleo I thought....gosh that looks tough ..then I checked out AutoImmune Paleo....now guess what I'm exploring FODMAPS Autoimmune....double groan...but I'm going to do it!!!
So for me no coconut butter or seed or nut butters...no sweet potato...but extra coconut oil - yes! Oh I am allowed courgettes (zuchini in american, I think) apparently I can make a cheese using them ...yey.
Thank you again so much. Got any more???? xxxxxxxxxx
Sounds like you're in my world. I can't use but sparingly seed or nut butter but no, no sweet potatoes at all. I do enjoy my zucchinis which I am growing in my garden. You definitely could make the carrot cake fudge with coconut oil but you might want to add some pumpkin puree if you can have that.
Good luck with your diet. It is definitely worth it although challenging. I would not be feeling as well as I am without out it.
ok i'll try it!
thanks so much sheree, well i have autoimmunity...so for me that is manifesting as thyroiditis and LS which is lichen sclerosus...a real bugger.
going to leave this comment and then i will come back in to write the recipe down.
thanks for your kind good wishes...would love to keep in touch ..i only know one other person doing this xxx
Could you sub the coconut products for ghee instead? I can't have coconut oil.
3 Studies PROVE Why Coconut Oil Kills Fat.
This means that you literally kill fat by eating coconut fats (also coconut milk, coconut cream and coconut oil).
These 3 researches from major medicinal magazines are sure to turn the traditional nutrition world around!
What does the T. stand for in the measurements? (2 T. Coconut flakes...)
