This Vegan Fudge combines natural peanut butter, melted coconut oil, sifted cocoa powder and maple syrup to make soft, creamy, irresistible no-bake fudge. It takes just 5 minutes for this fudge to come together before it chills in the refrigerator until firm, about 2 hours. That is, if you can patiently wait that long!
¾cup196g peanut butter, use crunchy for little bits, I always use 100% peanut butter
¼cup78g maple syrup
½cup42g cocoa powder, sifted
¼teaspoonkosher saltomit if your peanut butter is salted
For the peanut butter swirl
2tablespoonspeanut butter
2tablespoonsrefined coconut oil
Instructions
Line a 9x5" loaf pan with parchment paper, or alternatively line a mini muffin tin with muffin liners. Lightly grease with coconut oil.
Melt coconut oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat or in the microwave for about 30 seconds to a minute. Whisk in the nut butter, maple syrup, cocoa powder, and salt if using, into the melted coconut oil until completely smooth.
Pour mixture into the prepared pan or liners.
For the peanut butter swirl, melt together the peanut butter and coconut oil in a small saucepan or in the microwave until combined. Drizzle over the chocolate and use a toothpick or knife to swirl it in.
Place in the refrigerator and chill until firm, about 2 hours.
Let soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes before cutting into squares with a sharp knife. Store in the refrigerator.
Notes
I recommend refined coconut oil for no coconut flavor. If you're ok with coconut flavor, you can use virgin coconut oil.
