Vegan Fudge (Dairy/Casein-Free, Gluten-Free)
- Ready In:
- 24hrs 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Yields:
-
81 bite-sized pieces of fudge
- Serves:
- 81
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 cups icing sugar
- 1⁄2 cup almond milk (I use unsweetened Almond Breeze, or other non-dairy choice)
- 2 tablespoons dairy-free margarine (I use Earth Balance)
- 1 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (choose whatever taste you'd like) or 1 teaspoon mint extract (choose whatever taste you'd like)
- 1⁄2 cup chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life)
directions
- In a large bowl, sift together icing sugar and cocoa powder. Stir in chocolate chips.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the almond milk and non-dairy margarine to a boil, over medium-high heat, careful not to burn. Using a whisk, stir constantly.
- Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in icing sugar mixture, until combined well and chocolate is melted.
- Stir in extract.
- Spread into a 8x8 silicone pan and refridge until solid. If you don't have a silicone pan, you'll want to lightly grease your pan.
- Cut into small pieces (or large pieces if you prefer!). I cut it in about a 9x9 squares, so they are bite sized pieces.
- Notes: I froze this after it was solid and we snacked on some to save for Christmas trays and it was perfect, but once left out for a bit it got a little soft. It still tasted like 'real' fudge though!

One of my co-workers practically swooned when she tasted this as she has sorely missed fudge since going gluten/dairy free. It was also a big hit with those without dietary restrictions! I used a Ghirardelli 70% cacao bar for the chocolate as it does not have dairy either and was easier to find than the dairy-free chocolate chips. Thank you Laurie150 for such a great recipe. I like the way you spell your name too! :) Laurie

I call this the magic fudge recipe - it is the coolest thing to watch the bowl of sugar/choclate turn into fudge before your eyes. The taste is amazing - only thing is the first time I doubled the chocolate chips by mistake, and it was perfect, this time I followed recipe to a T and it is a bit soft - I suggest 1 cup of Enjoy Life Chocolate chips for a seriously fabulous fudge that is better than any I have made using non vegan ingredients - soft rich and delishious, my kids and I are HOOKED!! Thanks for this recipe <3

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I have celiac disease and upon diagnosis knew that I (and everyone who eats gluten-free around me) will NEVER be deprived. I'm also intolerant to casein, and all of my recipes are gluten and casein free.
I used to get sick from garlic and onions, so if they are missing from recipes - throw them in!
I read cookbooks like novels, have an addition to thinking about food, and am equally obsessed with fitness and nutrition.
