Equipment

Ingredients

3 cups of vegan chocolate chips
1 cup of coconut cream
1 ½ teaspoons of vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 cup of chopped walnuts divided

Instructions

Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the edges hang over the sides for easy removal. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the vegan chocolate chips and coconut cream. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and microwave for another 30 seconds, or until the vegan chocolate is fully melted. Stir until smooth and thoroughly combined.
Alternatively, melt the vegan chocolate in a double boiler, then stir in the coconut cream, vanilla extract, and salt.
Mix in ¾ cup of the chopped walnuts, stirring to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of walnuts on top for garnish.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 5 hours, or preferably overnight, until fully set.
Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper edges. Slice into squares and serve.

Notes

Use high-quality chocolate: It’s the MAIN flavor in this dairy-free fudge, so make sure it’s one you like. I prefer 60-70% cacao for rich flavor and just the right level of sweetness.
Microwave time will vary: Based on your microwave, the vegan chocolate, and the heat-safe bowl. Microwave it in small increments, stirring thoroughly between.
To change the thickness: Adjust the pan you use for thinner or thicker vegan chocolate fudge. Just note that the time setting will need adjusting.
