Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
Add almonds to a baking dish, and toast for 12 minutes.
Add 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon coconut sugar to a blender, and blend until a fine powder.
In a small bowl, add almond butter, coconut oil, cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon of powdered coconut sugar, vanilla, and sea salt. I went a bit heavy on the sea salt — it was wonderful! If your almond butter is on the dry side, you might need to add an extra 1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the toasted almonds and mix well.
Line a plate with a large piece of parchment paper, and spread out the almond fudge mixture until it forms a thin layer. Put in the freezer until it hardens, about 20 minutes.
To the blender with the powdered coconut sugar, add all the frozen yogurt ingredients. Blend until everything is mixed, about a minute.
Add the frozen yogurt to the container of an ice cream maker. Freeze until the mixture is thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
Chop the chilled fudge mixture, and add to the ice cream maker.
Either serve the yogurt immediately, or add to a container and freeze for 1-2 hours.
If frozen more than 1-2 hours, the yogurt will get very hard. I’ve found the best way to defrost it is slowly! Take out of the freezer and put in the fridge 1-2 hours before serving.***
If you will be eating the yogurt in single servings, freeze in single servings, and defrost 1 at a time.

Notes

*It is not necessary to make the powdered coconut sugar. I have skipped this step, and it’s just as delicious- but the fudge will have a grainy texture.[br]**Almond milk, coconut milk beverage, or regular milk can be substituted, but will result in a much softer yogurt. Full cream can also be used.[br]***If you can’t wait hours for the yogurt to defrost, put it in the microwave on the defrost setting for 15 seconds at a time.
