Description
A creamy, rich, and indulgent no-bake vegan fudge that combines smooth peanut butter and dairy-free chocolate. This recipe requires only five minutes of active prep time and freezes to perfection for a guilt-free sweet treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (250g) smooth peanut butter
- ½ cup (120ml) coconut cream (full-fat)
- ¼ cup (60ml) pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (250g) dairy-free chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- Sea salt flakes, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, combine the smooth peanut butter, coconut cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend or whisk until completely smooth and creamy.
- Pour the peanut butter mixture into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Tap the pan on the counter to release air bubbles.
- Place the dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut oil in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until melted and smooth, then remove from heat immediately.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread gently to create an even top without mixing the layers.
- Immediately sprinkle sea salt flakes over the warm chocolate.
- Place the pan in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours, until fully firm.
- Lift the fudge out using the parchment handles and cut into squares or rectangles.
Notes
Use smooth peanut butter for the best texture; chunky peanut butter may make the fudge gritty. Ensure your bowl and utensils are completely dry when melting chocolate to prevent graininess. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month. Do not store in the fridge as the texture may become oily.
