How to make the easy vegan chocolate fudge

It’s almost too easy. Follow these steps as written and you can’t go wrong.

Step 1. Heat your condensed milk until hot

It’s best to heat the condensed milk in a bowl over a pot of simmering water, double boiler style. This helps to control the temperature of the condensed milk and avoids chocolate burning to the bottom of the saucepan if we were to use just a saucepan for this recipe. Heat the condensed milk until is feels not, but before you reach boiling point.

Step 2. Add nut butter and finely chopped chocolate

Add finely chopped chocolate and nut butter to the bowl. Stand for 1-2 mins and then mix well, until smooth and glossy.

The finer you chop the chocolate the better. It means that when the time comes it will melt and incorporate into the mixture quicker, giving you more time to muck around. Yes, time is key here- you need to work quickly as the fudge will begin to set quickly, especially in cooler weather. The finer you chop your chocolate the better.

Step 3. Add in pistachios

Add in your flavours and quickly fold them through. We are using pistachio and rose today, but see below for some other delicious flavour combinations.

Step 4. Pour into mould and top with rose petals

Pour your fudge batter into a prepared tray and smooth over. Top with rose petals and set in the fridge. See- so easy!

Frequently asked questions for this easy vegan chocolate fudge with rose and pistachio

1. Can I use other types of chocolate?

It depends. I have tried this with darker chocolate and preferred the result with the 70%- bot the flavour and texture are best (for me) using 70% chocolate. You could use a milk chocolate, however it will not set as firm as the one pictured.

I prefer to use block chocolate for my recipes ( I find it easier to find better quality chocolate in block form, plus its much cheaper) but you can use chocolate chips if you prefer.

2. Can I use a microwave instead?

Yes. Add the condensed milk, finely chopped chocolate and nut butter to microwave safe bowl. Heat in 30 second increments, stopping and mixing between each 30 second increment. Heat until the mixture is warm enough to combine completely. Be careful to not burn the mixture, as if cannot be fixed.

3. What can I use instead of nut butter?

Any seed butter (tahini or sunflower butter) or a dairy or vegan butter will work too. If using diary or vegan butter add this to the bowl in step 3 below.

4. What can I use instead of coconut condensed milk?

This recipe is a celebration recipe, and not intended to be a ‘healthy fudge’. There is not a substitution for the condensed milk, but if you’re after a more wholesome fudge recipe this peanut butter fudge is very much loved. You can use coconut, oat or cows milk condensed milk.
