Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups Plant-Based White Chocolate Chips
- 1/2 cup Creamy Plant-Based Butter
- 1 cup Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk
- 1 tsp Natural Vanilla Extract (natural)
- 2 tsp Natural Gelling Agent
Mix-Ins
- 1/2 cup Smoked Turkey Bacon, chopped
- 1/2 cup Mini Plant-Based Marshmallows
- 1/2 cup Peanuts or Mixed Nuts
- 1/2 cup Colored Plant-Based Candy Pieces
- 1 tsp Vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce (natural)
Instructions
- Step 1: Melt the Base
In a medium heatproof bowl, combine the plant-based white chocolate chips and creamy plant-based butter. Gently melt them together over a double boiler, stirring consistently until you reach a luscious, velvety mixture.
- Step 2: Mix in Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk and Vanilla
Remove the melted base from heat and stir in the sweetened condensed coconut milk and natural vanilla extract (natural). This will add smoothness and a sweet aroma that makes the fudge irresistible.
- Step 3: Incorporate the Natural Gelling Agent
Sprinkle the natural gelling agent gradually to the mixture, folding it in to help the fudge set properly without heat. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect firm-yet-soft texture.
- Step 4: Fold in the Festive Mix-Ins
Carefully fold in the smoked turkey bacon pieces, mini plant-based marshmallows, nuts, and colored plant-based candy pieces. For an added savory layer, mix in a small dash of vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural).
- Step 5: Transfer to Pan and Chill
Pour the fudge mixture into a lined baking dish, smoothing the top evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely firm and set.
- Step 6: Slice and Serve
Once set, cut the fudge into bite-sized squares and get ready to indulge or package as beautiful gifts.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smoother melting and mixing without clumps.
- Gently fold mix-ins to prevent breaking the fudge texture.
- Line your pan well with parchment or plastic wrap to effortlessly lift fudge out after chilling.
- Adjust sweetness carefully by reducing sweetened condensed coconut milk if desired.
- Chill thoroughly for perfect cutting and clean slices.
