Cocoa Butter Fudge Rolls

SCD Recipe: Cocoa Butter Fudge Rolls

This recipe is inspired by the fudge-nougat logs my grandma used to make every Christmas. I’ve always wanted to come up with some kind of Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) recipe that would be kind of like. This year, I’m excited to say I did it!

Her recipe used chocolate chips and powered sugar, so obviously this ins’t exactly the same thing, but it’s in the spirit of it and that’s what I was going for.


I really love these – the cocoa butter gives the hint of chocolate flavor I was lookng for. I made a vanilla nougat using cashew butter, but peanut butter would also be amazing. I just wanted to create a vanilla nougat that was more like the one my grandmother made so I didn’t go for peanut butter flavor.

These are great for the holidays! Give them a try and let me know what you think!

  • Stir in coconut flour until mixture is thick and well-blended
  • Spread nougat mixture on top of date layer
  • Use wax paper to gently roll layers into a roll
  • Spread walnut pieces on wax paper in front of roll

  • Wrap roll in wax paper and put in a freezer-safe bag or container
  • Freeze for two hours
  • Let warm up 20 – 30 minutes before slicing and serving
  • Store slices or roll in refrigerator for up to four days and in freezer for a month
