Say the word fudge and it immediately brings me back to those nostalgic days of walking into an ice cream parlor, smelling wafts of homemade chocolate being stirred in huge copper pots, and watching the glossy chocolate as it was spread over the large marble tables.
Gone are the days of taste testing those typical dairy-filled and sugar-laden squares of goodness. It’s time to give fudge a makeover while still retaining that delicious, smooth and creamy consistency.
My Matcha Chocolate Fudge Recipe is sure to be your next beauty treat that you and your family will love to indulge in (from time to time).
Let’s see why I chose matcha as one of its star ingredients…
Beauty Adaptogen: Matcha
Yes, matcha powder is considered an adaptogen, which really means, it’s among one of the adaptogenic herbs that has stress-fighting properties. And who of us can’t benefit by reducing our stress levels?!
There are so many things around us that cause or escalate our levels of stress, and explains why we sometimes gravitate towards sugary treats.
From meditations to breathing exercises (which I strongly advocate for), we are always looking for ways to combat the negativity and live a more happy and fulfilled life. Let’s not negate how we can do the same with the foods we eat.

One of the ways to slow down the aging process is through antioxidants, which are naturally occurring chemical compounds. A variety of fruits and vegetables are of course lauded for their antioxidant properties, however, matcha is unparalleled in comparison.
Matcha is actually packed with exponentially more antioxidants according to the latest innovation in antioxidant research. Just check out the results below:
The testing method known as ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity), found that matcha possesses twenty times more antioxidants than pomegranates or blueberries. In fact, matchas ORAC rating is a 1573 units per gram, compared to pomegranates 105 units per gram or blueberries 93 units.
Some other stand outs are:
- Matcha boosts metabolism and burns calories
- Help you concentrate and focus
- Safely cleanses and purges the body of harmful elements
- Is substantially richer in chlorophyll, making it a superior daily detox
As you can see, how could I not add this adaptogen into this heavenly beauty fudge. Mixed with coconut cream, maple syrup and dark vegan chocolate (among other ingredients) — this healthy dessert will have you stress-free in no time!
And be careful my Beauties — all of your senses just might explode! 😜
