Recipe

This 4 Ingredient Fudge is Vegan and Gluten-Free

By Spoon University at Spoon HQ

I don't often eat regular fudge because its main ingredients are sugar, butter, and cream, making it an ideal treat rather than a dietary staple. I wanted to see whether a recipe with natural substitutes could make a filling yet more wholesome alternative without sacrificing that rich and creamy taste.

With only four ingredients, you know exactly what you're eating. This recipe also only requires basic utensils, a microwave, and a freezer, making it a dorm-friendly option that can be made in advanced and stored for several weeks.

Although I can't promise this recipe trumps the real deal, I was a fan of the sweetness and bold flavors. A little coconut oil sure goes a long way. I'm looking forward to trying this recipe again and experimenting with different nut butters to see if their flavors are just as good or even better.
