If you love sweet desserts for the holidays, you'll love this2 Ingredient Vegan Peanut Butter Fudge recipe. It is incredibly easy to make!

The Ultimate 2 Ingredient Vegan Peanut Butter Fudge (1)

Normally I gravitate towards chocolate or a combination of chocolate and peanut butter when I am craving something sweet.

I was out of cacao powder and chocolate chips when I decided to make this, so I figured why not make peanut butter fudge?

This 2 Ingredient Vegan Peanut Butter Fudge is so much better than I imagined. It is sweet and rich - everything you expect fudge to be.

If you like a sweet dessert, then you have come to the right place! These irresistible delights will satisfy your sweet tooth in one bite.

If you have ever had sweetened condensed coconut milk, then you'll know what I am talking about. When coconut milk is sweetened and condensed it becomes thick and rich. Add it to peanut butter and you have a caramel flavored decadent treat.

This creamy fudge recipe couldn't be any easier. If you've never made dairy-free fudge before, you'll be happy to know how simple it can be.

Make a double batch and use the leftover fudge using the same combination in these sweet treats: Vegan Homemade Payday Bars recipe, Peanut Butter Caramel Apples recipe, Date Snickers recipe, and Vegan Peanut Butter Cups recipe.

And for those people in your life who are not a fan of peanut butter, try my Vegan Chocolate Fudge. It is a 3 ingredient fudge recipe that tastes like classic fudge.

    Have you ever used almond butter for this? I have a peanut allergy in my home.

    • Willow Moon says

      Yes I have. I used it in my almond butter cup recipe with the same ratio. Almond works just as well.

    FYI adding 1/4 cup or so of unsweetened cocoa powder makes these into chocolate peanut butter fudge and I am having to hide it because I want to keep it all to myself. Divine!

      Thanks Kristen! I just made them more dangerous by switching them them up into Creamy Almond Butter Cups! (You could use peanut butter instead.)

    Hi - I 'm vegan and live in South Africa. Not too many vegan products available here.
    I normally make my own condensed milk using soy milk powder, castor sugar, melted coconut oil, water and a pinch of salt. Could I substitute this for the condensed coconut milk? Never seen that here - not even in health shops.
    Your fudge looks so awesome 💕

    Reply

    • Willow Moon says

      Thanks Lynette! As long as it's thick like sweetened condensed coconut milk, it should work fine.

      Hi Lynette
      FYI, in S.A. you can get Nature's Charm - Condensed Milk Coconut Sweetened 320g at any Wellness Warehouse store, or from their on-line store.
      I’m sure your recipe is more economical, but in an emergency…😁

    Just made 2 ingredient p b fudge, vegan. Why does the recipe say 1 hr 5 min prep time? Mine just came off the stove so dont know if it worked, but...

    Reply

    • Willow Moon says

      Thanks for catching that Susan! I just fixed it. It was supposed to say 1 hour to set in freezer.

    Made this for my 13yr old vegan son. Ours tastes good, but texture is more like a soft caramel then fudge. Is there a length of time you should let it simmer to get it to a more fudge like state?

    Reply

    • Willow Moon says

      Just until the mixture comes to a simmer. You made it correctly - I think the mistake is mine in how I named the recipe. I store mine in the freezer so it isn't too soft.
