This easy vegan fudge recipe with cocoa powder is the ultimate classic treat, smooth and super chocolaty, and melts in your mouth! Using just 7 ingredients, this is a no-nonsense, foolproof recipe that brings back all those warm feelings of holiday fudge, without the dairy.
Grease a standard bread pan (9 x 5 x 3 inches) with some dairy-free butter or coconut oil and line with parchment paper for easy removal. Set aside.
In a medium pot, add the sugar, cocoa, dairy-free butter, almond milk, and maple syrup. Bring to a boil on medium-high heat. Once your mixture starts to boil, stir with a spoon continuously for one minute exactly. Remove from heat and let cool for 45 minutes. I just set mine on the back burner and turn on a timer.
Once cooled, stir in vanilla and powdered sugar until the mixture is stiff. This is going to be THICK, almost like a dough. Transfer to bread pan, spread/smooth out to the edges.
Place in the refrigerator and chill at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results. Cut into squares and enjoy!
