Can I use something other than coconut milk?.Can I use something instead of almond butter?Īny natural nut or seed butter should work! It just can’t have any added fat or sugar.I haven’t tried white chocolate but think it might taste odd with the nut butter.
Milk chocolate would also be fine (if you have a sweet tooth and don’t need it paleo / dairy-free). Can I use a different type of chocolate?ĭark chocolate would work (if you prefer your chocolate fudge on the dark side).Substitution questions about this vegan fudge recipe? If you try out this chocolate fudge, I’d love to hear how you like it! It’s totally fine to keep out at a party or bring on a road trip but it’s safer to refrigerate after maybe no more than 12 hours. You should still keep it refrigerated because of the nut butter and coconut milk, though. You don’t even need to turn on the stove to melt anything and it’s 100% maple-sweetened.
If you don’t care about it being solid at room temp, check out my paleo fudge, which is also vegan and only uses a few ingredients. So yay – no coconut flavor in this recipe! The small amount of coconut milk isn’t enough to turn the fudge coconutty. I usually recommend refined coconut oil in my coconut oil recipes (like in 180 out of 185 of them )) but I know a lot of people prefer to use unrefined. It’s firm just like traditional fudge is at room temperature.Īnd because it’s coconut oil-free, there’s no coconut taste. That’s because this fudge recipe is coconut oil-free. It can be a little annoying if you want to bring them on-the-go with you. Solid at room temperature!Ī lot of paleo and vegan candy recipes, like my peanut butter chocolate fudge or peanut butter and jelly fudge, melt at room temperature. Peanut butter also works for non-paleo! Here’s how to make homemade almond butter and how to make peanut butter should you want to make you own. So far I’ve made this recipe with hazelnut butter, almond butter, cashew butter and sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
You just need chocolate, coconut milk, nut or seed butter, a tiny bit of maple syrup, vanilla and salt. You probably even already have the ingredients in your pantry.
