Vegan gingernut and marshmallow fudge

Jade Woodd

This homemade fudge is a beautiful treat to make for someone special in your life.

Ingredients

Makes: 20 pieces

TO DECORATE (optional)

Method

  1. First, finely chop the dark chocolate and place in a heatproof bowl with the coconut oil. Place the bowl on top of a saucepan containing 2cm of water to create a double boiler. Make sure the bowl sits on the rim of the saucepan and doesn’t touch the water. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to simmer. Melt the chocolate slowly and gently, stirring occasionally. Once the chocolate has completely melted, remove from heat.
  2. Next, add peanut butter to the bowl and mix until smooth. Finally, add the maple syrup, but ensure the chocolate and maple syrup are of a similar temperature. Cold syrup may cause the warm chocolate to seize. Mix until smooth, then fold through the biscuits, marshmallows, and hazelnuts.
  3. Pour the fudge into a tin of choice (we used a 15 cm square tin). Top with melted mylk chocolate plus extra marshmallows and biscuits to make it look extra pretty. Set in the fridge for 4 hours. The fudge will keep in the fridge up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for a couple of months.

TIPS:

  • The Woolworths Select and Free From Gluten brands are both vegan friendly. Otherwise, you’ll need to check the ingredients.
  • You’ll be able to purchase vegan marshmallows online or at a vegan specialty store.
