This recipe is especially for anyone asking what is vegan fudge made of.

It is not uncommon for fudge to be made with dairy products or similar non-vegan ingredients. I know that using condensed milk, cream cheese, and even butter are commonly used in making fudge.

However, this vegan and sugar free fudge does not include any of those dairy ingredients in it.

As a matter of fact, you may be surprised at the one ingredient that is added to this recipe to give it that 'fudge-like' texture. Did I mention that it is fruit?!

This recipe is also for anyone asking how do you make sugar free fudge from scratch.

Yes, this is a vegan recipe. However, this delicious fudge recipe is also sugar free.
You will not even need to add any sugar alternative in this recipe as well.

To make this recipe sugar free, you will need to use sugar free ingredients.

Also, to make this vegan, you will need to use vegan ingredients.
I am mentioning this as a reminder to read the ingredient labels on the ingredients that you choose for your fudge.

Here are some tips for making fudge.

I just mentioned that it is important to read the labels on the ingredients that you are using. This is especially true if you are wanting to stick to a sugar free and/or vegan diet.

Here are some more helpful tips.

  1. This fudge calls for sugar free almond butter. You can find sugar free almond butter online or make sugar free almond butter using this recipe. I have not tried using another nut butter.
  2. The chocolate in this recipe comes from chocolate chips. You can find sugar free chocolate chips here (some are vegan too!). Vegan chocolate chips can be found here.
  3. The chocolate chips can be melted in the microwave or on the stove. If you are using the microwave method, please be sure to stop and stir the chocolate every 30 seconds. Stove top chocolate melting works best using a double boiler. Following these chocolate melting precautions will help to insure that your chocolate melted evenly and stays together without burning.

You may be wondering how long can you store fudge.

If stored in a covered air tight container in the refrigerator, your fudge should keep for about for a week. However, you can also freeze your fudge in properly wrapped for up to 2 months (individual works best!).

Ingredients needed to make four ingredient sugar free fudge.

How to make Easiest Sugar Free Fudge 4 Ingredients

  • Prepare a square baking pan for nonstick. I suggest using parchment paper that overlaps the pan itself. That will make it easier for you to lift the fudge out of the pan to serve.
  • Melt the chocolate using a microwave safe bowl. Start by melting the chocolate on high, stopping to stir every thirty seconds and stirring. After the first minute microwave in ten second increments and stirring until melted.
  • Alternatively, you can use a double boiler to melt the chocolate on the stove. Simply place the chocolate chips in the top of the double boiler over barely simmering water. This method keeps the chocolate away from direct heat, which allows it to melt at a low enough temperature to prevent scorching and separating. Do not forget to stir or whisk the melting chocolate.
  • Remove the chocolate from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients. Then evenly distribute the fudge into your prepped pan. Feel free to add optional nuts. Also, using a rubber spatula on its backside is an easy way to press the fudge into the pan.
  • Freeze until firm, about two hours. leftovers covered in the refrigerator for 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Easiest Sugar Free Fudge 4 Ingredients (2024)

FAQs

What is the secret to non-grainy fudge? ›

Once a seed crystal forms, it grows bigger and bigger as the fudge cools. A lot of big crystals in fudge makes it grainy. By letting the fudge cool without stirring, you avoid creating seed crystals. Stirring would help sucrose molecules "find" one another and start forming crystals.

Why is my 3 ingredient fudge not setting? ›

The main reason is that your Fudge has not reached the optimum temperature. If your mixture only reaches 110 or 112 degrees Celsius it will always be soft. That's why we recommend investing in a sugar thermometer. Another reason your Fudge is not setting is that the ratio of liquid to sugar is too high.

How to prevent sugar crystals in fudge? ›

If the melting sugar splashes onto the sides of the pan, it turns back into crystals and causes the fudge to seize up. To avoid this issue, swirl the pan instead of stirring it with a spoon. You can use a wet pastry brush to wipe down any sugar that sticks to the sides of the pot.

What makes fudge softer? ›

If you don't heat your fudge to a high enough temperature, you'll end up with a soft product. And if you heat the mixture too much, your fudge may be harder than you'd like.

Why is fudge so hard to make? ›

Making fudge can be a challenging endeavor, requiring precision and attention to detail to achieve the perfect texture and consistency. The process of making fudge involves a delicate balance of cooking, cooling, and beating, and the smallest mistake can result in fudge that is too soft or too hard.

How do you cut fudge so it doesn't crumble? ›

If you have difficulty cutting or if the fudge crumbles with the cuts, try warming the metal knife (or wheel or whatever) in hot water between cuts. Wipe the hot knife dry before cutting. Whatever you use, always wipe the cutting implement clean between cuts.

What to do with failed fudge? ›

Options for what you can do with your unset fudge:

OPTION 1) Depending on how runny it is, you can either use it as a frosting for cakes, or a sauce for ice-cream. OPTION 2) Freeze it overnight. Cut it into squares. Cover each square thickly in melted chocolate, ensuring no part of the fudge is exposed.

Is evaporated milk or condensed milk better for fudge? ›

Evaporated milk doesn't have sugar added. The sweetened condended milk is needed as no extra sugar is added to the fudge. If evaporated milk were used then the fudge would not be sweet enough and also would still be too soft unless the fudge is frozen.

What does cream of tartar do in fudge? ›

Cream of tartar is used in caramel sauces and fudge to help prevent the sugar from crystallizing while cooking. It also prevents cooling sugars from forming brittle crystals, this is why it's the secret ingredient in snickerdoodles!

Do you stir fudge when it's boiling? ›

Stir the ingredients to dissolve the sugar until the mixture comes to a boil. If your recipe uses milk, stirring will keep the mixture from curdling. But once it reaches about 236–238 degrees F/113–114 degrees C (the "soft-ball" stage), do not stir it or even shake the pan.

Should a diabetic eat fudge? ›

According to the American Diabetes Association, people with diabetes can still have sweets, chocolate, or other sugary foods as long they are eaten as part of a healthful meal plan or combined with exercise. They consider a healthful meal plan to: have limited saturated fat. contain moderate amounts of salt and sugar.

Is sugar-free ice cream OK on keto? ›

Ice cream brands like Halo Top, Edy's, Enlightened, So Delicious, and Rebel offer options that use sugar substitutes and may be keto-friendly. The keto diet is not for everyone. Be sure to talk with a healthcare provider before starting this type of diet.

How to stop fudge from going grainy? ›

Don't panic if your fudge is grainy, nothing is lost it just requires some more work. Pop the grainy fudge back into the pan along with some water and a little cream and melt the fudge back down to a liquid and re-boil it to temperature.

How do you fix grainy fudge sauce? ›

Remove the seized chocolate from the stove and add a liquid (water, coconut milk, milk etc) slowly, mixing well. I used water. The chocolate will absorb a surprising amount of liquid so just keep adding and mixing until you come to the consistency you like.

How do you get fudge to soft ball stage? ›

The soft ball stage is the point when melted sugar is 236 degrees. Without a candy thermometer, you can achieve this with what is called a “cold water method”. Fill a small glass with ice and cover it with water until it is ice cold.. Drop your hot sugar syrup into the ice water.

How do you keep peanut butter fudge from getting grainy? ›

Despite this, I still recommend following a few grain-preventing best practices, like brushing the sugar crystals back into the pot with a damp pastry brush before the candy boils and not scraping the sides of the pot when pouring your fudge out of the pan.
