No-Thermometer Vegan Chocolate Fudge

Silky vegan fudge made with quick condensed coconut milk and dark chips—decadent, sliceable squares that set perfectly when chilled or frozen.

Preparation:  80 mins
Servings:  16

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the pan

Grease or line an 8×8-in (20×20cm) square pan with parchment, leaving overhang for easy lifting.

Step 2: Combine coconut milk and sugar

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the coconut milk and sugar. Bring just to a steady boil, watching closely so it doesn’t boil over.

Step 3: Simmer to reduce

Lower heat to medium-low and simmer, whisking every few minutes, until reduced by about half and slightly thickened, 40–45 minutes.

Step 4: Stir in butter and vanilla

Remove from heat. Stir in the vegan butter until melted and smooth, then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5: Melt in the chocolate

Add the chocolate chips and stir patiently until fully melted and glossy. If needed, return to very low heat briefly to finish melting.

Step 6: Spread, chill, and set

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Freeze until firm, at least 3 hours, or until solid enough to slice.

Step 7: Slice and store

Lift out by the parchment, cut into squares, and keep in an airtight container in the freezer for best texture.
