    Who doesn't love an easy dessert? This 3 Ingredient Vegan Fudge is so easy and so satisfying, that you'll wonder why you made it any other way. No candy thermometer needed!

    (Salt doesn't count as one of the ingredients - there's no need to write me a comment that I can't count.)

    I've made a couple of vegan fudge recipes in the last few years. I made a 2 Ingredient Vegan Peanut Butter Fudge a while back, then later made a Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge which can be made with cacao powder (or cocoa powder) or dairy-free chocolate chips.

    I realized I had yet to make a more classic fudge (chocolate fudge). So here it is. Let me tell you, it does not disappoint! I am a huge chocolate lover so I am a bit biased.

    Other recipes to try are my Homemade Vegan Chocolate and Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream. Another vegan recipe you may like is my Vegan Eggnog French Toast recipe.

    ❤️ Why You'll Love It

    • This delicious vegan fudge recipe is sweet and rich with a creamy texture. It will satisfy your sweet tooth.
    • Made with simple ingredients, it is the easiest recipe you can make for dessert. The hardest part is waiting for it to set.
    • There's no need for a candy thermometer like traditional fudge.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Ingredients on a cutting board with labels.
    • Dark chocolate chips: I used dark chocolate baking chunks. You could also use semi-sweet chocolate chips. The Enjoy Life brand makes vegan chocolate chips.
    • Sweetened condensed coconut milk: Adds a sweet rich flavor.
    • Vanilla extract: Enhances flavors and adds flavor. You could also use peppermint extract for a minty flavor.
    • Salt: Enhances flavors and adds flavor. I like to use sea salt.

    Step 3: Pour the vegan fudge mixture into a plastic wrap-lined square pan, loaf pan, or food storage container. Cover and place in the refrigerator or freezer to set.

    Step 4: Once set, pull out the fudge with the plastic wrap. Remove the plastic wrap and slice it with a sharp knife on a cutting board.

    Store in an airtight container in the fridge for softer fudge and the freezer for harder fudge.

    💭 Tips

    • Dark chocolate baking chunks add a wonderful flavor. I used some that have 67% cacao. Some vegan chocolate chips have a lot less, so be sure to check the label.
    • Taste after mixing to make sure you have the desired amount of salt.
    • I used a 6 ½" x 6 ½" food storage container. If you want thinner fudge, use a larger container.

    Can I Store The Fudge at Room Temperature?

    This easy fudge recipe is best stored in the fridge so that it doesn't melt. When you store it in the fridge it has a nice smooth creamy consistency while not melting all over your hands.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Recipe FAQs

    Does fudge contain dairy?

    This recipe is dairy-free, but make sure to check the label of the dark chocolate chunks (or chocolate chips) to see that they're vegan. Some companies add milk to their chocolate chips.

    Ingredients

    • 12 ounces dark chocolate baking chunks with 67% cacao (2 ¼ cups)
    • 11.25 ounces sweetened condensed coconut milk (1 cup)
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • Pinch salt

    Instructions

    • Line a square or rectangular container with plastic wrap or parchment paper. Mine was 6 ½" x 6 ½". (The larger the container is, the thinner the fudge will be.)
    • Place chocolate chunks and sweetened condensed coconut milk in a heatproof bowl over a pan with a couple of inches of water. This will act as a double boiler. (If you have a double boiler use that.)
    • Heat on low to medium heat until melted.
    • Add vanilla extract and salt. Mix well.
    • Pour into the plastic wrap lined container. Place in the fridge or freezer to set. It will take 2-3 hours to set. Once set, pull out the fudge by the plastic wrap. Remove the plastic wrap and slice on a cutting board.
    • Store in the fridge or freezer.

    Notes

    An 11.25-ounce can of Nature's Charm sweetened condensed coconut milk has 1 cup of Sweetened condensed coconut milk in it, so you'll use the whole can.
    If you use another brand or homemade, make sure to measure 1 cup.
    This fudge recipe will last up to 2 weeks in the fridge and 2-3 months in the freezer.
