Description

Learn how to make rich, melt-in-your-mouth, dairy-free maple fudge with real maple syrup in just 30 minutes. This easy vegan recipe makes the perfect indulgent fall sweet treat or ideal bite-sized dessert for holiday sharing!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (200g) cane sugar 
  • 1 cup (240g) coconut cream
  • 1/3 cup (65g) coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup (80g) maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped

Instructions

  1. Combine the sugar, coconut cream, coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking continuously.
  3. Reduce to a simmer on medium heat. Cook whisking frequently until it reaches the soft-ball stage (235-240°F). It will take about 10-12 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat, and whisk in the vanilla extract.
  5. Quickly transfer to the bowl of the stand mixer, and use the whisk attachment to whip the fudge for 3-5 minutes until thickened and opaque. Check on it frequently, you don’t want to over mix as it will become a doughy consistency and lose that fudge creaminess.
  6. Use a spatula to transfer to a loaf pan lined with parchment paper, and smooth flat.
  7. Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top, pressing in lightly.
  8. Refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours until set.
  9. Remove from the pan, and slice into squares.
