Tips

• Freeze your pint completely flat and level on a shelf so it freezes evenly, which helps the Creami spin smoothly without stalling.
• If your result comes out too crumbly after spinning, add just a tablespoon or two of cold milk or cream and re-spin to get that creamy fudge texture.
• Toast your almond pieces in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before adding them to the base, so the flavor really comes through in the final product.

Variations

• Skip the toasted almonds and use crushed pretzels or pecans instead for a different crunch and flavor profile.
• Stir in 2-3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the base before freezing for a chocolate-coconut fudge twist.
• Replace half the cream of coconut with 1/2 cup of almond butter mixed into the base for a richer, more pronounced almond flavor.

FAQ

Can I use light coconut milk instead of cream of coconut?

Light coconut milk is thinner and has less fat, so your pint may not freeze as solid or spin as creamy. Cream of coconut is thicker and sweetened, which is what makes this recipe work in the Creami.

My pint froze but the Creami is struggling to spin it. What do I do?

This usually means the pint isn't completely frozen solid all the way through, so give it another 4-6 hours in the freezer. If it's fully frozen and still stuck, add a small splash of milk and re-spin to loosen it up.

How long does the finished fudge keep in the freezer?

You can store it in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks, though it's best eaten within a few days since it will gradually get icy if left sitting.

Can I make this less rich or lower in sugar?

You can replace the sweetened condensed milk with regular evaporated milk and reduce the cream of coconut by 1/4 cup, then add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup for sweetness. The texture will be slightly less dense, but it should still freeze and spin well.
