Description

This Peanut Butter Dairy-Free Fudge is a rich and creamy treat made with just a few wholesome ingredients. Combining coconut oil, peanut butter, natural sweeteners, and a touch of salt, this no-bake fudge is perfect for those seeking a dairy-free dessert option. It’s quick to prepare, requires no oven, and sets in the freezer for a deliciously smooth texture that melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1 1/4 cup peanut butter (unsalted preferred)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup cane sugar
  • Pinch of salt, plus more for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Dish: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring the paper overlaps the edges. This will make it easier to remove the fudge later.
  2. Heat Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut oil, peanut butter, maple syrup, cane sugar, and a pinch of salt. Place over medium heat and whisk frequently.
  3. Melt and Combine: Continue whisking until the coconut oil is fully melted and the mixture is smooth with no lumps, creating a uniform texture.
  4. Pour and Freeze: Pour the smooth mixture into the prepared baking dish. Place the dish in the freezer and allow the fudge to harden for at least 2 hours.
  5. Cut and Serve: Once set, remove the fudge from the freezer. Use the parchment paper to lift it out of the dish, trim any uneven edges as needed, then cut into bite-size pieces. Sprinkle with additional sea salt on top if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Calories are per piece and are an estimation based on standard ingredient values.
  • Trader Joe’s unsalted peanut butter was used and worked well for this recipe.
  • You can substitute coconut sugar for cane sugar and honey for maple syrup, although this will slightly change the flavor profile.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain texture.
