Vegan Christmas Fudge Recipe

I like this dairy-free fudge recipe because it’s ready in a snap and stays solid at room temperature. The flavor and texture are also exactly what you remember from traditional fudge. I promise, no one will even know or care that it’s vegan. The key to the best vegan fudge recipe and achieving the sweet flavor and firmness we all know and love is simply swapping a few dairy-based ingredients for ones that are plant-based.

Microwave Fudge Recipe

No candy thermometer and no stovetop cooking required means this fudge is easy enough for the kids to make! They just pour and stir while you man the microwave. This easy Christmas fudge also keeps exceptionally well in an airtight container, making it great for gifting!

Ingredients for Vegan Christmas Fudge

You will need:

  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 14 ounces vegan sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1 cup vegan miniature marshmallows
  • Sprinkles, optional

Ingredient Notes

  • Semisweet Chocolate Chips – Nestle makes vegan semisweet chocolate chips. Many store brands are also “accidentally” vegan. Check the label to make sure you’re getting dairy-free chocolate chips.
  • Vegan Sweetened Condensed Milk – I used sweetened condensed oat milk by Nature’s Charm. They also have a coconut-based product that works well but, as you might expect, it does give a slightly coconutty flavor.
  • Vanilla Extract – An equal amount of vanilla bean paste will also work.
  • Walnuts – Use whatever nut you like or leave them out entirely.
  • Vegan Miniature Marshmallows – Trader Joe’s brand marshmallows are vegan!
  • I like to swap the nuts and marshmallows for chopped candied cherries for Valentine’s Day!

How to Make Vegan Christmas Fudge

STEP ONE: Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment, leaving enough to hang over the edges.

STEP TWO: Pour semisweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is melted and the consistency is smooth. This will take a total of 2-3 minutes.

STEP THREE: Stir in the vanilla extract and walnuts then fold in the marshmallows.

STEP FOUR: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly. Add sprinkles, if using.

STEP FIVE: Transfer to the refrigerator to chill until set, about 2 hours.

STEP SIX: Using the excess parchment paper on the sides of the pan, lift the fudge out of the pan and set it onto a flat work surface. Cut into squares and serve.

Storage

This fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

    Do you have any recommendations on where to get vegan condensed milk? I’ve never seen it in a shop before

      Hi Tina ~ I buy it at the grocery store. There are different brands and varieties, mainly coconut but oat is also out there. Sweetened condensed oat milk is my preference because, to me, it tastes most like dairy-based milk. I shop in a few different stores and, depending on which one I’m in, it’s either on the regular baking aisle alongside the dairy-based condensed milk or on the vegan specialty aisle. Hope this is helpful!
