Vegan Chocolate Mint Fudge
You aren’t going to believe that this isn’t bad for you, it tastes that good! I am not usually that excited about fudge because it is way too sweet and it makes my teeth hurt. Not to mention that I just plain don’t eat it anymore because it is loaded with sugar and dairy. Well, no need to worry. This recipe is plant based, refined sugar free and no dairy to be found.

Oh yum! I definitely need to make this! I LOVE mint chocolate anything 🙂
If i do not have food processor how will I go about it
You might be able to do it in a blender by pulsing it.
I made this a couple days ago for my daughter who loves everything mint. She totally loves it!!!! 🙂
That’s so great!
Hello! I was wondering if you could give me the name of the black cocoa powder you mentioned in this episode. Thanks for your time!
Hello Rebekah,
It is from Fontier Food co-op. https://www.frontiercoop.com/frontier-co-op-black-cocoa-powder-processed-with-alkali-organic-fair-trade-1-lb/
I was ordering from IHerb.com affordably but they don’t carry it anymore
Awesome thank you so much! I love your show by the way! My seven year old daughter and I made your chocolate cheesecake the other day and it was out of this world delicious!!
I am so glad you liked it? It is one of my favorites for sure!
The recipe calls for 1 cup of raw cashews, but I didn’t see you add them in the video. Are they optional?
Love this fudge! So easy and quick to do. Thanks for the recipe.
I’ve made this recipe twice now, both as double batches. It is so delicious and is gone by the second day. I was wondering though how long this would last in the fridge? I want to prep for Thanksgiving!
It will last a couple weeks in the fridge.
So easy. So delicious! Thank you.
Wow! Delicious. I had been craving those Andes mints I used to have years ago, and this hit the spot! So ridiculously easy to make, so simple and fast and soooo tasty. Except I didn’t have almond butter so I used peanut butter plus threw a few whole almonds into blend with it all. Will definitely make this again and for friends! Thanks so much for making these great recipes that still taste like indulgence! My husband liked them as well!
So I took these to a Christmas party, and unfortunately it didn’t go over that well. The flavor is delicious and I love them as I know how good it is. However, for someone eating a SAD diet then it’s not a big hit for them as it’s not that smooth and creamy when you bite into it like the SAD fudge is.
Not sure if I over processed it or not, but when I bit into it, it seemed more on the dry side and not sure what I could do to make it less dry and more creamy like the SAD fudge. ?????
My husband and I are starting out on the new way of eating after growing up on the SAD diet, so I’m learning a new way of cooking through your cookbook which I’m loving! Thanks!!
You can always add a tablespoon of water at a time while it is mixing in the food processor to get a little more soft texture.
