Hi Bold Bakers!
Fudge is really popular amongst all you alternative bakers and for good reason! Believe it or not, a square of fudge in the late afternoon or after dinner can be a really healthy way to satisfy your sweet tooth. Similar to a fat bomb, my Chocolate Peanut Butter Vegan Fudge packs a hefty chocolate punch and has just the right amount of healthy fat to keep you feeling full and energized.
This vegan fudge is a decadent dessert with benefits!

How Is Vegan Fudge Different From Regular Fudge?
Fudge is typically made by combining sweetened condensed milk and chocolate. While this tastes awesome, it can be super high in sugar.
My Vegan Peanut Butter Fudge is made with coconut milk, sugar free chocolate, and natural peanut butter. Without the refined sugar, fudge is actually a really great way to get those healthy fats provided by the cocoa butter in the chocolate, as well as the coconut milk.
The sweetness of the fudge comes from Lakanto Sugar, my go-to sugar alternative. All of these natural, plant-based ingredients come together to form a super rich, melt-in-your-mouth fudge. The only difference between this and regular fudge is that it is best when served straight out of the fridge, as it can melt when left at room temperature. If you want to swap out Lakanto for another sugar alternative, go right ahead! Just be aware that might change the consistency of the final product.
Is this fudge also Paleo and Keto?

Whether you’re vegan, paleo, keto, or anything in between, this Chocolate Peanut Butter Vegan Fudge is going to hit the spot — so yes, it’s all of those things. Made without any grain, gluten, dairy, or sugar — and high in healthy fat— this vegan fudge is a dessert you can love making, eating, and of course sharing, no mater what your lifestyle.
Can this fudge be made with other toppings than peanut butter?
Making this fudge is as simple as melting the chocolate and the coconut milk together. From there, I add in a few flavorings like vanilla and instant espresso powder (which are optional but really enhance the flavor of the chocolate). The last ingredient to go in is my favorite: peanut butter.
I warm up the peanut butter in the microwave (you can also use the stovetop) so it’s drippy and pourable, then I zig zag it across the fudge. Using a butter knife, I like to swirl the peanut butter throughout creating a really lovely design across the top. While I love peanut butter, you might not. That’s fine! You can do this with with any nut butter you like.
If you cant have nuts, I suggest you give sunflower seed butter a try, it’s super yummy and made entirely from sunflower seeds, meaning it’s nut free!
How long does vegan fudge last?

Because my chocolate and peanut butter vegan fudge is stored in the fridge at all times, it’s totally fine to keep for around 10 days. If you have any leftovers, which I doubt you will… I suggest freezing them.
From frozen, just thaw and enjoy!
