INGREDIENTS
If you’ve never tried a square of decadent, homemade fudge, you are in for a treat! The good news is that while this Pomegranate Pecan Fudge may look and taste pretty fancy, it’s made with just 5 simple ingredients that you should be able to easily snag at at your grocery store (if you don’t already have them in your kitchen)!
Dark Chocolate + Nut/Seed Butter + Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk + Pomegranate Seeds + Pecans = the easiest yet fanciest looking fudge you’ve ever made 😍
HOW TO MAKE POMEGRANATE PECAN FUDGE
Melt, mix, pour, chill. Could this recipe be any easier to make? All you need is one bowl (over a double boiler) and one dish to make this 5-Ingredient Pomegranate Pecan Fudge.
- In a double-boiler (or a heat-proof bowl nestled over a pot), simmer a couple inches of water until gently boiling and steamy.
- Combine the dark chocolate, nut/seed butter, and sweetened condensed coconut milk in the bowl to melt and stir until smooth with no lumps.
- Turn off the heat. Fold in the pomegranate seeds and pecans and stir to combine.
- Pour into a parchment lined square dish and evenly smooth with a spatula. Refrigerate for 2 hours to set. Slice in squares, serve and enjoy!
SUBSTITUTIONS
What’s ah-mazing about this recipe is that you can switch up the ingredients for whatever you have on hand, or if you’re just feeling adventurous!
- Nut or Seed Butter: I used Sunflower Butter, but it would be incredible with Peanut, Cashew, Hazelnut, or Almond Butter. Smooth or crunchy are both great!
- Fruit: Pomegranates may not be in season when you make this. Dried or fresh Cranberries, Blueberries, Raspberries, Cherries or Strawberries would all taste incredible! Just make sure you dice them up into smaller pieces if you’re using fresh berries.
- Nuts: I use whatever you want! Walnuts, Macadamias, Hazelnuts, Peanuts, shredded Coconut or if you’re nut-free, try Sunflower or Pumpkin Seeds. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup but use up to 1 cup for a denser, nuttier fudge!

5-Ingredient Pomegranate Pecan Fudge
Ingredients
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks
- 1 cup nut/seed butter of choice
- 1 can sweetened condensed coconut milk
- 1 cup pomegranate seeds + extra for topping
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans + extra for topping
Instructions
- In a double boiler (or in a heat-proof bowl nestled above a pot), bring a couple inches of water to a low boil. Add the dark chocolate, condensed coconut milk and nut butter to melt and stir frequently until smooth with no lumps remaining. TIP: ensure the bottom of your heat-proof bowl doesn't touch the waterline or else you could potentially burn your mixture.
- Turn off the heat and remove the bowl from the pot. Fold in the pomegranate seeds and chopped pecans and stir until thoroughly incorporated.
- Pour mixture into a parchment lined square tin (9×9 or slightly smaller is fine) and smooth out with a spatula. Sprinkle extra pomegranate seeds and pecans on top and place in the fridge to set for 2 hours.
- Slice into squares and serve! Keeps in the fridge for up to a week or longer in the freezer. Enjoy!
