Easy Vegan Chocolate Fudge
Description
The recipe combines vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips with sunflower seed butter (or alternatives like peanut or cashew butter) and maple syrup, melted together gently over a double boiler until smooth and uniform. This mixture is then pressed into a lined pan and chilled until firm enough to cut. The resulting fudge has a rich chocolate flavor balanced by the nuttiness of the seed butter and the sweetness from maple syrup, producing a creamy yet firm texture.
The fudge is suitable for plant-based diets and can be customized by adding unrefined sugars or spices for seasonal variation. It slices neatly and holds well in the refrigerator for up to three weeks, and it freezes well for longer storage. Optionally, toppings like crushed sea salt, coconut flakes, or dried fruits can be added to enhance texture and flavor.
Because the fudge can soften at room temperature depending on climate, it is best kept chilled. Using dark chocolate can make it refined sugar-free. The recipe includes guidance on incorporating unrefined sugars by blending with warm maple syrup to preserve texture. These considerations make the fudge practical for make-ahead treats and gifting.
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sunflower seed butter or use smooth peanut butter or cashew butter
- 2-3 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Over a double boiler, add the chocolate, sun butter or nut butter and maple syrup. Mix until the mixture is evenly melted and smooth.
- Pour or transfer the thick mix into a parchment-paper lined 9X5 inch loaf pan. Even it out using a spatula. Chill for an hour.
- Slice into squares and serve. Store in the fridge for upto 2 weeks and freeze for months.
Notes
- Refrigerate the fudge to keep it firm; it stores well for up to three weeks in the fridge and can be frozen for extended periods.
- To avoid refined sugars, substitute dark chocolate and mix unrefined sugars with warm maple syrup before adding to the nut butter mix.
- Adding toppings like crushed pink sea salt, coconut flakes, or dried fruit can enhance flavor and texture.
- Including seasonal spices such as pumpkin pie spice or chai spice adds variety and seasonal flair.
