Vegan Fudge (Dairy/Casein-Free, Gluten-Free)

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 4 cups icing sugar
• 1/2 cup almond milk (I use unsweetened Almond Breeze, or other non-dairy choice)
• 2 tablespoons dairy-free margarine (I use Earth Balance)
• 1 teaspoon hazelnut extract or vanilla extract or mint extract (choose whatever taste you'd like)
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life)

Directions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, sift together icing sugar and cocoa powder. Stir in chocolate chips.

2. 2

   In a medium saucepan, bring the almond milk and non-dairy margarine to a boil, over medium-high heat, careful not to burn. Using a whisk, stir constantly.

3. 3

   Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in icing sugar mixture, until combined well and chocolate is melted.

4. 4

   Stir in extract.

5. 5

   Spread into a 8x8 silicone pan and refridge until solid. If you don't have a silicone pan, you'll want to lightly grease your pan.

6. 6

   Cut into small pieces (or large pieces if you prefer!). I cut it in about a 9x9 squares, so they are bite sized pieces.

7. 7

   Notes: I froze this after it was solid and we snacked on some to save for Christmas trays and it was perfect, but once left out for a bit it got a little soft. It still tasted like 'real' fudge though!
