Ingredients You Need
Made with only six ingredients, the best part about this dairy-free fudge is that it comes together quickly (like most of my gluten-free dairy-free desserts).
Cacao Butter: this is what makes this freezer fudge recipe creamy! It also helps keep the texture of the fudge at room temperature.
Coconut Oil: used to thin the cacao butter and give it an indulgent flavor.
Cashew Butter: most nut butters will work but cashew butter is ultra creamy and indulgent.
Honey: used to sweeten the fudge while still keeping it as “white chocolate”. Using maple syrup or coconut sugar would obviously change the color.
Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips: optional but delicious. Enjoy life chocolate chips are paleo-approved. However, if you need this fudge to be keto-approved, omit them. It’s still delicious.
How To Make The Dairy-Free Fudge
This freezer fudge recipe is as easy as “measure, melt, and pour”.
- Measure out the ingredients
- Combine all ingredients except the chocolate chips in a small pot over low heat.
- Once mostly melted, remove from heat and whisk until smooth
- Pour into silicone baking molds or a parchment paper lined loaf pan.
- Drop a few chocolate chips into each mold
- Freeze for two hours to set
Important Teaching Tips
Make sure to melt the ingredients over a low temperature. Otherwise, the nut butter will burn.
Likewise, as soon as the cacao butter is melted, remove the pot from the heat and stir to combine the remaining ingredients.
Don't rush! Let the fudge cool slightly before dropping in the chocolate chips or they will melt (though marble fudge is cool).
Once the chocolate chips are in, get the dairy-free fudge into the freezer quickly.
Almond butter or peanut butter can be used in place of cashew butter.
How to make the freezer fudge keto: if you want to scale back the carbs on this freeze fudge, simply eliminate the chocolate chips. if you do this, at 7 squares of fudge each one will have a carb count of 7 grams. Similarly, you can also opt to use refined sugar-free chocolate chips instead.
Frequently Asked Questions About Freezer Fudge
Though maple syrup can be subbed in, it will change the color and texture. Maple syrup will dilute the color of the white chocolate to a darker or light brown. And because maple syrup is not as thick as honey, your freezer fudge will melt just a bit more.
Any nut butter can be used in freezer fudge. Though this one uses cashew butter, swapping in for peanut butter or almond butter would be a fun flavor swap. Just make sure to use natural peanut butter so that it blends smoothly.
This dairy-free fudge is smooth and almost creamy. It tastes a lot like downplayed honey with a hint of chocolate from the cacao butter. Most white fudges will taste much more like vanilla.
Traditionally, most fudge is made of cream/milk and sugar. It's the way you temper it that creates the fudge consistency. However, because this white fudge is dairy-free, it uses a blend of cacao butter and cashew butter to create its creamy texture
Whether the fudge stays solid at room temperature greatly depends on how much coconut oil is in the recipe because coconut oil is soft when warm. This dairy-free fudge uses only a tiny bit of coconut oil and thus remains solid for over thirty minutes when sitting at room temperature.
