This easy peanut butter vegan fudge is creamy and delicious. Made with just 3 ingredients, without special equipment, and 10 minutes of hands-on prep time.
Line a loaf pan with a sling of parchment paper. You can also use an 8x8" dish, the fudge won't be as tall as pictured.
Place the peanut butter, condensed coconut milk, and vegan white chocolate into a large heat-resistant bowl. Set the bowl on top of a saucepan with simmering water (known as a bain-marie or water bath). Make sure the water does not touch the bowl but allow the steam to rise up and melt the ingredients. Be careful that absolutely no water splashes into the bowl as water will cause the fudge to seize.
Whisk the ingredients together, they should be sticky and tacky. Once melted, pour the fudge into the lined loaf pan. If using roasted peanuts, press them into the top of the fudge with the back of a spoon or spatula. Place it in the fridge to set for 4 hours or overnight. You can also set it quicker in the freezer for about 2 hours.
Once set, do not remove the fudge from the pan, using a sharp knife cut it into serving pieces. Lift the fudge pieces out of the pan and sprinkle with some sea salt.
Storage
Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container. Alternatively, you can freeze the fudge in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight before serving.
Notes
Use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into servings before removing it from the pan. This makes it easier to get nice clean cuts.
You can use cacao butter in place of vegan white chocolate (fudge will be slightly less sweet) or use dark chocolate to make chocolate peanut butter fudge.
The fudge pieces are super delicious when added on top of warm oatmeal. Think a creamy, peanut buttery, melty mess!
This vegan fudge will set up in the fridge or the freezer. If you're in a hurry freeze it for 2 hours, otherwise you can let it set in the fridge overnight.
If your fudge is not set up after being in the fridge overnight, scoop it back into a saucepan and bring it to a simmer before returning it to the fridge to set.
