    Salted Chocolate Dairy-Free Fudge

    By Alisa Fleming on September 25, 2015 Alisa's Favorite Dairy-Free Recipes, Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes, Dairy-Free Snack Recipes

    It’s good to know that I’m not the only one who considers dark chocolate bites totally snack-worthy. This recipe fo salted chocolate dairy-free fudge was submitted by Becky Timbers as a Sweet entry in the BIG Snackable Recipe Contest.

    This easy Salted Chocolate Dairy-Free Fudge has amazing depth of flavor - sweet, savory, rich, decadent, and of course, rich in cacao. Vegan, gluten-free recipe.

    Alisa’s Notes

    Since I have tested and approved this recipe for salted chocolate dairy-free fudge as one I would repeat, I’ve added it to the “Alisa’s Recipes” section. Here are my personal notes on the recipe:

    Taste: The sodium spike in this salted chocolate dairy-free fudge added depth of flavor and a lovely savory contrast to the dark chocolate base.

    Cacao: I used 70% dark chocolate as suggested, which gives a grown-up sweetness. If you prefer a sweeter dairy-free fudge for snacking (or a treat), then you may want to use more of a semi-sweet chocolate, but if you’re a hardcore cacao fan, go darker. Speaking of cacao, I’m not a big fan of cocoa powder, so I preferred this salted chocolate dairy-free fudge without the dusting – though it is a pretty garnish.

    Spice: I used just a pinch of cayenne, which added very, very subtle heat. It was pleasant. I’d love to trial this dairy-free fudge with cinnamon in the future.

    This recipe does require a little planning ahead (soaking the cashews) and patience (as it chills), but your efforts are rewarded with a week's worth of sweet, savory, chocolaty little hits.
    Author: Becky Timbers
    Serves: 10-12 servings
    Ingredients
    • 10 ounces dairy-free dark chocolate (about 70% cacoa), roughly chopped
    • ½ cup raw cashews, soaked overnight and drained
    • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
    • ½ cup So Delicious Dairy Free Original Almond or Coconut Milk Creamer
    • 1 tablespoon cane sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ¾ teaspoon salt
    • ⅛ teaspoon or less cayenne pepper (optional)
    • ¼ cup cocoa powder, for dusting (optional)
    Instructions
    1. Melt the chocolate in a double broiler over medium heat.
    2. While the chocolate is melting, pulse the cashews in a food processor until mostly smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes.
    3. Whisk the coconut oil into the melted chocolate until fully incorporated. Whisk in the creamer, sugar, vanilla, salt, and cayenne (if using). Let cook, whisking often, for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat.
    4. Pour the chocolate mixture into the food processor with the cashews. Process the mixture until very smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes, resting as needed to keep the chocolate from getting too hot.
    5. Optionally strain the chocolate through a fine mesh strainer into a medium bowl, stirring continuously to speed up the process. This removes any cashew bits and makes the chocolate smoother.
    6. Pour the chocolate into greased ramekins or and 8-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper and level out. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 4 hours.
    7. When chocolate has set, loosen the edges by running a butter knife along the sides. Invert the ramekins or baking dish to dislodge the fudge or lift it out using the parchment paper.
    8. Dust the dairy-free fudge with cocoa powder and cut into ½ inch pieces. Keep refrigerated if there is any left. The fudge freezes well, too.

      I love how rich this fudge seems and the cashews are a great way to get a fudgy consistency without dairy. Your idea of using a pinch of cinnamon is grand Alisa.
