👩🍳 How to Make Vegan Chocolate Fudge
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate Mixture
Set up a double boiler (or use a microwave in short bursts). Add the chocolate chips, thick coconut milk, and coconut oil to the bowl. Stir constantly until fully melted into a smooth, glossy mixture.
Once everything is melted, stir in the vanilla extract for that extra depth of flavor.
Pro tip: Don’t overheat the chocolate—low and slow is the way to go!
Step 2: Pour Into a Pan
Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Pour in the melted fudge mixture and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Tap the dish gently on your counter to release any air bubbles.
Step 3: Chill and Set
Refrigerate the fudge for 2–3 hours, or until firm to the touch. If you’re prepping ahead, feel free to leave it overnight—it only gets better with time!
Step 4: Slice and Serve
Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper. Slice into small squares—1 to 2 inches is the perfect bite-size.
Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt, crushed nuts, or even vegan sprinkles if you’re feeling festive!
🍬 Storage Tips
Keep your fudge in an airtight container in the fridge. It should stay fresh for up to 2 weeks (if it lasts that long!). For longer storage, freeze the squares and thaw in the fridge as needed.
