Blueberry-Lemon Fudge Recipe
Long before the mainstream medical community started conducting research, Linus Pauling advocated high-dose vitamin C as a highly effective method of treating many serious conditions.
During that time, there was quite a bit of opposition to the idea (after all, how could something so simple as a popular “vitamin” act as a sort of “cure” for many of these chronic diseases?).
However, as modern research has expanded into alternative healing methods, many studies have revealed that Nobel Prize-winning Pauling was correct in his observations of vitamin C.
Today, research shows that:
-
Vitamin C is toxic to certain cancer cells.
-
People who take vitamin C daily have decreased heart disease risk & longer life expectancy.
-
High-potency vitamin C supplementation has decreased the death rate in seniors by 42%.
…and the list goes on.
Today, we’re celebrating Pauling and his revolutionary research with a vitC-rich treat.
Blueberries, though tiny, are packed with vitamin C. Plus, they’re one of the lowest-sugar fruits, making them ideal if you’re watching your carb intake but still want to cash in on a natural source of C.
This recipe uses a heaping dose of blueberries combined with another vitamin C powerhouse, lemon, and creamed coconut for a decadent blend of creamy and fruity.
With just a touch of maple for some sweetness, there’s no reason you shouldn’t indulge in a square or two every day and feel satisfied knowing you’re getting high levels of C.
Blueberry-Lemon Fudge
Prep time: 10 minutes
Total time: 30-60 minutes
Serves: 18 squares
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups or 300g creamed coconut (or coconut butter)
- ⅔ cup or 75g organic frozen blueberries (frozen provides a deeper blue color)
- 2 tsp fresh lemon rind
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 2 capsules Paleovalley Essential C (Optional if you want to boost vitamin C levels even more)
- Additional blueberries and shredded coconut for topping
Equipment
- Cheese grater for lemon rind
- Square baking dish
- Stovetop pot
- Blender or food processor
Directions
- Let blueberries defrost for about half an hour before using.
- Roughly chop your creamed coconut, then place it (or your coconut butter) in a stovetop pot over low to medium heat. Stir continuously until thoroughly melted, then remove immediately to avoid burning.
- Grate 2 teaspoons worth of organic lemon rind.
- Once the coconut is melted, add the blueberries, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon rind, contents of 2 opened Essential C capsules, and maple syrup and blend together in a blender.
- Once blended, add the mixture to a square baking dish or loaf tin lined with parchment paper, then pop it into the freezer for roughly 20 to 30 minutes to solidify.
- Once firm, slice into squares or triangles and top with extra blueberries, shredded coconut, and a dash of the remaining lemon rind.
If you want all the research-backed benefits of vitamin C, skip the synthetic ascorbic acid supplements. Your body can best utilize vitamin C in its natural, whole-food form. That’s why Paleovalley Essential C contains 3 C-rich superfoods, and absolutely NO synthetic vitamin C.
