Classic Fudge made dairy-free
While
actually dairy-free and vegan, no one will know the difference from
your regular recipe! And perhaps a little healthier than those made
with heavy cream and real butter, this version allows reduced guilt
seconds... and thirds.
6 Tbs butter alternative (we use Earth Balance Buttery Sticks) or real butter
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup almond milk
Line a baking dish with foil or waxed paper, allowing the foil or waxed paper to hang over the sides for easy removal (my pan is 6 x 8 in size). Spray with a small amount of cooking spray. Set aside.
In
a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter alternative (or real butter
if your prefer). When melted, add the remaining ingredients. Whisk
until smooth, then quickly pour the batter into the prepared pan. Chill
for a few hours.
Remove
pan from fridge, then pulling on the sides of the foil or waxed paper,
pull the fudge from the pan. Carefully peel the foil or waxed paper
from the fudge, then cut into small pieces, or alternatively, use a
cookie cutter to make shapes.
Liv Life Note: For sharp, clean cuts, run your sharp knife under hot water, then dry with a paper towel. Cut, then clean with the paper towel after each cut. Re-warm the knife as needed.
