The dairy-free secret to this easy fudge's creaminess? Avocado. The key to a firmly set but fudgy texture is using bittersweet chocolate with minimum 60% cacao.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9x5" loaf pan with nonstick spray. Line with parchment paper, leaving plenty of overhang on 2 sides (the spray will help it stick to the pan and stay flat). Spread out almonds on a rimmed baking sheet and toast, tossing halfway through, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely crush with a flat-bottomed glass.
- Meanwhile, place chocolate in a small glass or ceramic bowl and microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring well between each, until melted and smooth, 1-1½ minutes. Let cool slightly. (Alternatively, heat chocolate, stirring occasionally, in a heatproof bowl set over a small saucepan of simmering water until melted; do not let bowl touch water.)
- Purée avocado, maple syrup, and almond butter in a food processor until very smooth, about 1 minute. Add cocoa powder, kosher salt, and 2 Tbsp. cold water. Pulse until smooth, then add melted chocolate. Pulse just until combined, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
- Transfer chocolate mixture to prepared pan and smooth top. Scatter reserved almonds over, then season with sea salt; press in lightly. Chill until firm, about 1 hour.
- Remove by lifting up parchment, then cut into squares or bars to serve.
- Do Ahead: Fudge can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and keep chilled.
