Ingredients for Dairy-Free & Gluten-Free Fudge

  • 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 cup of dairy-free buttery spread, melted, Smart Balance or Earth Balance
  • 4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

  • Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the sugar and cocoa powder.
  • Add the peanut butter to the melted dairy-free butter to soften it. Mix in the vanilla extract. The mixture doesn’t need to be smooth.
  • Add the buttery mixture to the sugar mixture and stir until completely combined.
  • Spread evenly into the baking dish. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator.

Optional: You can also line the bottom of your baking dish with parchment paper with enough paper to go up along the sides so that you can lift the fudge up. You can secure the paper with clothespins on the sides of the dish to secure the paper while you press the fudge into place.
