    I've simply fallen in love with peanut butter fudge since moving to the UK and trying my first vegan fudge on the south coast a few years ago. It's so smooth, buttery, and delicious and I knew I simply had to figure out how to make this delicious treat at home.

    Why this recipe works

    This recipe is simply the best fudge recipe out there, but I might be biased, ha! Here's what I love most about it:

    • it's so easy to make! It's fridge-ready in just a few minutes, with no complicated ingredients or equipment needed.
    • it only requires 3 ingredients - truly mind-blowing!
    • it's vegan!
    • it's a perfect peanut butter candy to treat yourself or gift to family and friends - who doesn't love an edible homemade gift! It's a wonderful gift for Mother's Day too, just saying.

    Ingredients for this Peanut Butter Fudge

    This easy peanut butter fudge recipe only uses 3 ingredients that are easy to get in the grocery store.

    Ingredients:

    • Smooth Peanut Butter: For this recipe, I've used the smooth peanut butter from Manilife. It's perfectly smooth and runny, making it perfect to whip it into this buttery vegan fudge. You can use a different brand of smooth peanut butter, but for best results, choose one that is unsweetened and only uses peanuts as the only ingredient.
    • Vegan Cream Cheese: I like to use the plain vegan cream cheese from Violife for making this recipe. You can definitely use other brands, just make sure it's low in salt and unflavored.
    • Powdered Sugar: To sweeten the fudge, we add powdered sugar to the fudge. It blends wonderfully into the fudge mix and helps firm it up in the fridge.
    • Vanilla Extract or Vanilla Powder (optional): this is an optional ingredient for our vegan fudge recipe, but if you love vanilla flavored fudge, then you'll love adding a little bit of vanilla into this homemade fudge recipe!

    Equipment:

    • electric hand whisk
    • mixing bowl
    • rectangular fridge container
    • parchment

    How to make fudge

    What I love most about this fudge recipe is simply how super easy it is to make! The peanut butter fudge mixture is ready in just a few minutes and then hardens in the fridge. It's so simple and easy to whip up, and it makes it the perfect vegan peanut butter candy or edible gift for friends and family.

    Step 1: Preparation

    To start with, line your fridge container with a little parchment. This makes it easier for you to remove the fudge from the container later on.

    Before you start, also measure all your ingredients for the fudge, so you're ready to roll!

    Step 2: Whip up the cream cheese

    Place your vegan cream cheese into a mixing bowl and whip it with an electric hand whisk until creamy.

    Step 3: Add peanut butter

    Slowly add the smooth peanut butter into the whipped cream cheese and continue to whip. Add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth.

    Step 4: Transfer to the fridge

    Transfer the peanut butter fudge mix to the lined fridge container. Gently smooth out the top with a spatula and transfer the container to the fridge to set for 2 hours.

    Serving and Storage

    After 2 hours in the fridge, your easy vegan fudge will be set and ready to remove from the container. Cut it into bite-size chunks with a knife and store your fudge in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.

    Frequently Asked Questions - Peanut Butter Fudge

    How can I flavor the fudge?

    Instead of vanilla extract you can also add other extract to your personal liking, e.g. orange or almond.

    Can I replace the peanut butter?

    In theory, this recipe should work with any nut butter, not just peanut butter - but it strightly won't be peanut butter fudge anymore in that case.
