This fudge started as avocado truffles, which then morphed into avocado fudge, which inevitably ended up being a flop because, as hard as I tried to ignore it, I could always taste (and smell) the avocado in the background. Back to the drawing board. Next, I went for a vegan chocolate-inspired approach with cocoa butter and coconut oil. But it ended up a bit too waxy and somewhat oily for my liking. Back to the drawing board (again). Which brings us to the current magic that is this easy 1-bowl, 30-minute vegan fudge made with 8 ingredients. Let’s dessert, shall we? The base for this recipe is coconut, cocoa butter, nut butter, and cacao powder. This creates a fudgy, rich texture with the perfect amount of chocolate flavor. This recipe is also naturally sweetened (something I really wanted to hang on to) with maple syrup and chopped dates. It all happens in the food processor before being poured into a pan and frozen. This recipe is not only easy to make, but also quick and virtually foolproof (the best kind of recipes). I hope you all LOVE this fudge!

I keep mine in the fridge and inevitably end up snacking on a piece after lunch and dinner. It’s that good! It’s like having your daily dose of chocolate that’s homemade, healthier, and refined sugar-free.
