Easy Dairy-Free and Vegan Fudge Recipe (2024)

• Cooking spray, for greasing

• 6 tablespoons vegan baking sticks, such as Earth Vegan Balance Buttery Sticks for baking

• 3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

• 1/2 cup cocoa powder

• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

• 1 pinch table salt

• 1/4 cup soy milk, or another vegan non-dairy milk substitute

• 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, or any nuts, optional

1. Gather the ingredients.

   

2. Lightly spray the pan with cooking spray. Line the bottom and sides of a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment or foil, leaving about a 2-inch overhang on the long sides of the pan. Lightly spray the parchment or foil with cooking spray. Set aside.

   

3. Place the veganbaking sticks, the sugar, cocoa, vanilla, salt, and soy milk in a heatproof mixing bowl or the upper part of a double boiler. Place the bowl over simmering water and stir frequently with a silicone spatula, scraping down the bowl occasionally until the vegan baking sticks are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

   

4. Add the chopped nuts if you're using them, gently folding them into the mixture just until well combined.

   

5. Pour the mixture quickly into the prepared loaf pan.

   

6. Place your vegan fudge in the refrigerator until thoroughly chilled. Be patient at this step, and plan at least 2 hours for your fudge to fully chill and set.

   

7. Once your fudge is firm, remove from the refrigerator. Using the parchment or foil as handles, gently pull the fudge up and out of the pan. Discard the liner and cut into 1-inch bite-sized squares. For a cleaner slice, you can also place your fudge in the freezer for about 5 to 10minutes just before slicing.
