Hey there fellow chocolate-loving vegans! Are you tired of missing out on the fudgy goodness that is chocolate fudge? Fear not, because we’ve got the ultimate guide to vegan chocolate fudge that will make your taste buds dance with joy!
Ingredients
Let’s talk about the stars of the show – the ingredients! Don’t worry, you won’t have to scour the ends of the earth for these, as most of them are easily available. Here’s what you need:
- Coconut cream (for that creamy goodness)
- Coconut sugar (for that sweet, sweet flavour)
- Dark chocolate chips (make sure they’re vegan, or you’ll have to deal with a major chocolate-related meltdown)
- Vegan butter or coconut oil (for that buttery richness)
- Vanilla extract (for that extra oomph)
- Salt (for a little bit of balance)
Preparation
Before we dive into the recipe, let’s get some basics covered:
– Quality is key, folks! Make sure you use high-quality ingredients to make that fudge extra delicious. Get your hands on some dark chocolate chips with at least 70% cocoa for that extra chocolatey goodness.
– A non-stick pan is your best friend when it comes to fudge. It can get super sticky and messy, so use a non-stick pan for easy clean-up.
– Don’t forget to line your pan with parchment paper. This will make it easier to remove your fudge from the pan and make it look super fancy.
Recipe
Alright, it’s time to get down to business. Here’s what you need to do:
Ingredients:
- 1 can of coconut cream (for that creaminess)
- 1 cup of coconut sugar (for that sweetness)
- 2 cups of dark chocolate chips (vegan, please)
- 1/4 cup of vegan butter or coconut oil (for that richness)
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract (for that extra flavour)
- A pinch of salt (for that balance)
Instructions:
- Heat up your non-stick saucepan over medium heat and add the coconut cream and coconut sugar. Keep stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add the dark chocolate chips, vegan butter (or coconut oil), vanilla extract and salt. Keep stirring until everything is melted and combined.
- Pour the mixture into a lined 8×8 inch pan and smooth out the top.
- Pop that pan into the fridge for at least 2 hours to set.
- Once the fudge is set, remove it from the pan and cut it into small squares.
- Serve it up and watch your friends and family go wild!
Variations
If you’re feeling extra creative, here are some fun variations you can try:
- Peanut butter fudge: Add 1/2 cup of smooth peanut butter to the recipe before pouring the mixture into the pan. It’s like a Reese’s cup in fudge form!
- Mint chocolate fudge: Add 1 tsp of peppermint extract to the recipe before pouring the mixture into the pan. This one’s perfect for those who love a little bit of freshness with their chocolate.
- Salted caramel fudge: Swirl in vegan caramel sauce and sprinkle sea salt on top of the fudge before placing it in the fridge to set. This one’s for all you salted caramel lovers out there!
Storage
Once you’ve made your fudge, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Or, if you’re feeling extra fancy, wrap it up tightly in plastic wrap and pop it into the freezer for up to 3 months.
