Overview of Recipe Content
This fudge is everything you love about chocolate, but made wholesome and plant-based. It’s creamy, indulgent, and melt-in-your-mouth good. The best part? You don’t need any fancy equipment or complicated steps—just a mixing bowl, a pan, and a little patience while it sets.
Why you’ll love this No Bake Vegan Chocolate Fudge:
- Done in just 15 minutes of prep—let the fridge do the work.
- Sweetened naturally—no refined sugar bombs here.
- Meal-prep friendly (and freezer-friendly!).
- Kid-approved and guest-approved—trust me, this fudge disappears fast.
Taste & Texture: Rich, chocolatey, silky-smooth, with just the right balance of sweetness and depth. It has that nostalgic fudge texture, but lighter and more nourishing.
Ingredients you’ll need:
- 1 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
- ½ cup coconut cream (the thick part from a chilled can of coconut milk)
- ¼ cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 3 tbsp maple syrup (or agave)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Tools needed:
- Small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl
- Spatula
- Parchment paper
- 8×8 baking pan
Suggested substitutions and additions:
- Swap almond butter for tahini or cashew butter for a fun twist.
- Add chopped nuts, dried cranberries, or shredded coconut.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top for a salted chocolate fudge vibe.
How to Make No Bake Vegan Chocolate Fudge
- Melt the chocolate & coconut cream – In a saucepan (or microwave), gently melt the chocolate chips with coconut cream until smooth and glossy. Stir often to prevent burning.
- Mix in the flavor – Add almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until creamy and fully combined.
- Pour & set – Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the mixture in, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill – Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours (or freezer for 30 minutes if you’re impatient like me!).
- Slice & enjoy – Cut into squares, savor slowly, or… let’s be honest, try not to eat the whole pan in one sitting.
Pro tip from my Nonna’s kitchen: Always keep a spoon nearby—you’ll want to “taste test” before it sets!
What to Serve with No Bake Vegan Chocolate Fudge
This fudge is dreamy on its own, but here are a few pairings I love:
- A hot mug of coffee or chai latte.
- A scoop of Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream for the ultimate indulgence.
- Paired with Fluffy Vegan Pancakes for a brunch dessert board.
- A festive spread with Protein Cookie Dough and Peanut Butter Energy Balls.
Tips for Making It Perfect
- Low heat only – Don’t scorch the chocolate! Melt slowly for best texture.
- Line your pan – Parchment is your best friend for easy removal.
- Don’t rush setting – Fudge needs time to firm up; give it at least 2 hours.
- Customize toppings – Think walnuts, pecans, coconut flakes, or even espresso powder.
Storage Instructions
- Fridge: Store in an airtight container up to 7 days.
- Freezer: Freeze in layers with parchment paper for up to 2 months.
- Room temp: Lasts about 2 days (but gets softer).
