How to Make Vegan Fudge
Line

Freeze
Freeze until firm and slice. Then, enjoy the easiest, best vegan fudge ever!

The 2 ingredients you need
Ingredient 1 – Vegan Chocolate Chips
Ingredient 2 – Almond Butter
Storing and Freezing Your Vegan Fudge
Room Temperature
Day 1, make sure to keep your vegan fudge in the refrigerator. It just needs to set. Day 2 and onward, feel free to store your vegan fudge at room temperature. As always, keep your fudge away from heat sources and away from direct sunlight, as heat melts chocolate. You can keep your vegan fudge for 2-3 weeks.
Freezer
Go ahead and store your vegan fudge in the freezer! Some folks prefer all of their desserts be chilled, and I may just be part of that group. 😉 Keep your vegan fudge in a freezer-friendly container for about 1-2 months. You can eat it as is if you like your vegan fudge firm, or you can wait for it to thaw a bit and soften up.
Just 2 simple ingredients for decadent, creamy vegan fudge that’s prepped in just 5 minutes!

Description
This 2 ingredient vegan fudge recipe is prepped in just 5 minutes! The best vegan fudge—thick, velvety squares of rich, dairy free fudge.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (175g) vegan chocolate chips
- ½ cup (130g) unsalted, natural almond butter or homemade almond butter
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or wax paper. Set aside. Clear some space in the freezer for this pan—you will need it later.
- Use the double boiler method or the following: Add chocolate chips and almond butter to a medium, microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second increments until chocolate is softened and melty. Stir in between heating increments, until smooth.
- Pour this mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Tap the pan to create an even layer. Optionally, use a spoon to make swirls on top–you might need it to thicken in the freezer a bit before adding swirls.
- Transfer pan to freezer. Freeze for 40-60 minutes or until completely firm. Remove from freezer and slice into 18 squares. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

Notes
Storing Instructions: Day 1, store fudge in the refrigerator. Day 2 and forward, store in an airtight container in a cool, dark area at room temperature, or in the refrigerator, for up 2-3 weeks.
Freezing Instructions: Store in an airtight, freezer-friendly container in the freezer for 1-2 months. Very firm, but enjoyable straight out of the freezer. If preferred, thaw for 10 minutes.

could you use just peanut butter instead of almond butter
Yep, that will work fine Edie. 🙂
thanks
I love that these how just 2 ingredients! So easy and so good!
Easy and tasty recipes are where it’s at this time of year!
I love how does fudge falls into so many diet categories! Thank you so much for this easy recipe!
Exactly! 🙂 You’re so welcome Allyson!
Who can resist to this delicious treat! Yum! My favorite!
★★★★★
It’s totally irresistible! 😊
Such a creamy and rich treat and in a snap; easily a new favorite dessert!
★★★★★
Wow that’s wonderful Sara!
My kids couldn’t stop eating these! So good!
★★★★★
Yay! So happy to hear it Toni!
These sound delicious! Dangerously good…
★★★★★
You’re totally right about that! 😉
Wow, 2 ingredients and only 5 minutes? Amazing – perfect for the busy holiday season and to make with my kids!
★★★★★
Exactly! It’s super easy and so fun to make. I used to make it with my little nephew and he always had a blast! ☺️
This recipe is epic, the flavor of the almond butter comes through and the texture is incredibly creamy ~ it’s a keeper!!
★★★★★
Thanks so much, Sue! I’m thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying my vegan fudge recipe! 🙂
Can never go wrong with fudge and I love how easy this recipe is to make!

★★★★★

I love fudge. This looks absolutely delicious.
★★★★★
If you love fudge, this is absolutely the recipe for you Saif!
Hi, am about to try this, just to ask I have really nice almond butter but the chocolate that I have is actually cocoa powder, would that work? Thanks so much 😉
★★★★★
Hi Kate, unfortunately, using cocoa powder would require a whole other recipe. Hope you get to try this one with chocolate! 🙂
Allergic to nuts. What can I substitute?
You could try sunflower seed butter of soy butter. 🙂
I’m a strict vegetarian, so I can have dairy but no meat or eggs. Can I use regular butter instead of almond butter, or maybe coconut oil? Which would you recommend? Thanks
Hmm… I’m not sure how that would turn out. Perhaps try using 1/4 cup coconut oil and seeing how that turns out and increasing from there? I’m hesitant because almond butter is drastically different from regular butter and coconut oil. Good luck!
So good! I was skeptical at first but it was so easy I figured I would try it! After freezing it, it tastes best room temperature. I didn’t add anything in but I can imagine it would be even better with nuts or peppermint. So yum!
★★★★★
Woohoo! So glad that you enjoyed the fudge Britt! .
My fudge is too thin:( I just have used a pan too big. Can I re-melt it and then freeze again?
Ps tasted it when it was melted oh my goodness. Maybe that’s why it’s thin, I sampled too much
Hi Shelley! Hmm… I think so? I haven’t done it before but theoretically it should work. Let me know how it turns out. Also, your sampling comment gave me a good chuckle! 😉
I love your recipes! I have always loved fudge and finally one like this came along! It doesn’t make a mess in the kitchen either! I am now a beaming baker fanatic!
★★★★★
Woohoo! That is so wonderful to hear Lily! . So happy to have you!
Hi- would salted almond butter be ok?
Thanks
Yep! That will work fine. Enjoy Jan!
Hi Thank you very much for this recipe .. We don’t use “Cups measures” in France. “1/2 cup almond (cashew or peanut for me, is it ok ?) butter, does it mean 90g ? Thank you.
Hi Agnès! It’s absolutely my pleasure. 🙂 I just ran to the kitchen and measured it out on my new scale. 😉 It’s 130g for the almond butter. I’d recommend cashew butter, since it has less of a strong flavor than peanut butter. Can’t wait to hear what you think!
Thank you so much Demeter for your quick answer. It is very nice from you ♥
Cashew butter will be perfect for me since I can’t eat any almonds.
I hope I will be able to try this recipe soon !!!! It looks so delicious.
Have a nice week.
My pleasure! I can’t wait to hear what you think. 🙂 Have a fantastic week!
Thanks for this wonderful recipe. Can we store the finished product at room temperature after freezing please? Would you also have the recipe for homemade almond butter please?
Hi Crystal! Yep, you can. And I’ll add homemade almond butter to my future list of recipes. 🙂
What brand of vegan Paleo friendly chocolate chips do you use?
Hi Diana! I use Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips. Happy fudge making! 🙂
What the brand of choc chips?
Hi Carla! You can use Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips. Hope you enjoy! 🙂
Can I replace the almond butter with anything? I’m allergic to almonds.
Hi Ashley! You could try swapping it with sunflower seed butter. I haven’t tried this myself yet, so let me know how it turns out! 🙂
Hi, these look great…if I wanted to double the recipe, do you think it would work well to use an 8 inch square baking dish? Thanks.
Hi Steffanie! Yes, that should work just fine. 🙂 Enjoy!
Thanks. I made these today and they’re great! Next time, I think I’ll make two batches in the loaf pan, rather than doubling the batch in the square baking dish, so that they have the height that yours do in the pictures. I also added a 1/2 tsp of vanilla. Super easy and delicious…thanks again!
★★★★★
So glad to hear you’re enjoying the fudge Steffanie! Double fudge all the way! 🙂
So I recently went no carb and have been missing out on decadent desserts so badly. I stumbled on this recipe on a Tuesday and made it on a Wednesday and Wow!!!
Love it love iiiiit!!
Instead of squares I spooned them into individual muffin paper cups. I also added orange flavoring and I used crunchy cashew butter. Thank you for this recipe. Absolutely delicious.
I’m SO happy to hear that! Oh, I just love the idea of adding orange flavoring and making these in muffin paper cups. They must’ve been so cute! Enjoy. 🙂
Thank you so much for writing the equivalent in grams, that’s the only thing your website misses in my opinion ^_^
Cheers from France <3
★★★★★
You’re welcome Caroline! I’m hoping to get grams for more of the ingredients added into the recipes at some point. 🙂 Cheers from Boston!
This is so good! I am alone at home, and I am not sure this will last long… So easy and quick to do, and the result is just amazing, thank you!
★★★★★
Strawberry Mango fudge is amazing, but not as amazing as this recipe, can you make a Strawberry Mango fudge that is Dairy free and Nut free. Thanks.
How many GRAMS is 1 cup paleo-friendly vegan chocolate chips?
Hi Monika, I’ve just added the amount in grams on the recipe. Enjoy!
Looks great! Would this work with peanut butter? We have a tree nut allergy in the house.
Yes, it would! 🙂 Can’t wait to hear what you think!
I added some walnuts. It’s delicious & so quick & easy to make. Thank you.
★★★★
Oh YUM!! My mom would just love that (let’s be honest, me too!). It’s my pleasure. Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback–I truly appreciate it. 🙂
Does this taste like chocolate fudge or almonds?
It tastes like fudge, with maybe the slightest hint of almonds. 🙂
Only 2 ingredients?? This fudge looks absolutely delicious, and so easy to make! Definitely on my to-make list 🙂 Happy Monday, Demeter! xo
★★★★★
Yep!! It’s so easy, even I get taken aback by it every time I make a batch! Lol. Same to you, Marsha! xo
I love how easy these are to make! One of my favorite treats!
★★★★★
Yay!! The easier and yummier, the better! 🙂 Enjoy!
I love how easy this is to make! It will quickly disappear in my house!
★★★★★
Oh yes! It really doesn’t get easier! 🙂
I love anything chocolate! Can’t believe it is vegan!
Agreed! Hope you get to try! 🙂
Only 2 ingredients! 5 minutes! Really an awesome recipe. I am making this daily as my snacks! Healthy yet yum!
Please keep posting more of these!
xoxo
★★★★★
Yes! And yes! 🙂 I’m so happy to hear that you’re enjoying this. 🙂 I definitely will. Enjoy!
Do you know roughly what weight in chocolate? Just if using bars instead of chips. Thank you!
Hi Lisa, it’s about 6 ounces/175 grams. Hope this helps & can’t wait to hear what you think! 🙂
This fudge looks so delicious!
Thank you! 🙂
Any excuse for chocolate is always ok with me! Happy Valentine’s Day!
Oh yes!! Happy Valentine’s Day! 🙂
I’m with you…chocolate is one of the best things about Valentine’s day and this fudge is headed to the top of list!
Right!!! Like, THE best thing about it! Haha.
This seriously couldn’t get any easier to make!! I’m going to make this for my mom for Valentine’s day (she has a serious fudge weakness) though I should make a few batches for myself first just to make sure I get it right 😉
Jen, your comments are always a pleasure to read! 🙂 It’s so sweet of you to make this for your mom! As for making a few batches for yourself first–BEST. Plan. Ever. 😉
So far every recipe i have tried of yours has been amazing! You are a genius. I am a vegan who has recently gone a bit further with wfpb and one of your little treats every once in a while sure does make it easier. Can’t wait to try the fudge, keep those recipes coming!
★★★★★
Hi Jane, thank you so much for saying so! I’m very pleased to hear that you’re enjoying my recipes. Best of luck with wfpb–it can be so tough! A little treat once in awhile can definitely keep you on track (as it does so often for me). Can’t wait to hear what you think! Hugs. 🙂
O yum – vegan fudge! I ran into the kitchen to make this (hoping to burn a few calories as I went) it was super easy and fast to make and perfect consistency!!! You nailed it! I cut the fudge into perfect squares which meant having to trim the edges and eat them of course! Thanks for the great recipe!
★★★★★
Christine, your comment totally made me laugh out loud (yes, I had to type that in full haha). Trimming off the edges: yep, I’ve “had” to do that before–you know, just to “make sure” the fudge looks just right. 😉 Thank you for stopping by and bringing a smile to my day. Enjoy!
What? Did you say 2 ingredients only? Love it! BTW, I am not a fan of the V-day at all 🙂
★★★★★
Yep!! Oh, so interesting to hear. Yeah, some people really dig it and others could just take a hard pass. Haha.
looks yummy, how much carb per serving pls?
Hi Anna, I just calculated the nutrition info! You can find it at the bottom of the recipe. Enjoy! 🙂
I LOVE that this fudge is vegan, paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free! I need to make this for my bf – he has an crazy sweet tooth and would love this!
★★★★★
Oh yeah!! Can’t wait to hear what you two think! 😉
Well, I always have almond butter and (almost vegan) chocolate chips laying around. I’ll have to give this a go! Bookmarking and sharing everywhere 🙂
Woohoo! Thanks so much for sharing. Hope you enjoy! 🙂
TWO ingredients! That is hella impressive. And the fact that pretty much anyone can eat it, no matter the dietary restriction, is pretty dang awesome.
★★★★★
Yep yep!! Thanks so much! I really try to make my recipes as accessible as possible. 🙂 <3
Only 2 ingredients? I have some almond butter at home so I will have to try this. Looks sooo good!
Yep!! Awesome, let me know what you think! 🙂
Hey! Looks very good! How long do you freeze it ?
Thaanks for the reply
Hi Lyanne! For 40-60 minutes! 🙂
