Easy dark chocolate almond freezer fudge. This vegan dessert is made with 8 pantry ingredients in under 15 minutes of preparation.
A delicious vegan freezer fudge with a rich roasted almond and chocolate flavor. All you need is 15 minutes of preparation and a few basic ingredients. You can also easily substitute some of the ingredients to create a fudge that meets your preferences!
What you need: Almonds, almond butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, chocolate chips, cocoa powder, vanilla extract and salt.
How to Make Vegan Chocolate Freezer Fudge:
Start by roasting the almonds until lightly golden and fragrant.
While the almonds are roasting, add the almond butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, melted chocolate, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt to a medium mixing bowl. Whisk together until combined.
Spread the mixture in a loaf pan and top with the roasted almonds. Sprinkle with a small amount of flaky sea salt and shredded coconut if desired.
Place the fudge, uncovered, in the freezer for 1 hour or until solid. Cut the fudge into the shape and size that you prefer and enjoy!
Tips to Make the Best Vegan Freezer Fudge
Avoid using the hard almond butter at the bottom of the jar. It should be drippy and creamy.
Use refined coconut oil if you don’t want your fudge to have a light coconut flavor.
You can top the fudge with other nuts if preferred. Chopped hazelnuts, pecans or cashews would work well too.
I haven’t tried using other nut butters, but from experience with other recipes, they should work. You can try using a smooth, drippy peanut butter or cashew butter. Keep in mind that I can only guarantee the best results with almond butter.
