Vegan fudge

From Sarah and Kara's Recipes

Dairy-free fudge made in the traditional way.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup plain, unsweetened almond milk
  • 4 tbsp vegan margarine
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Prepare an 8x8 inch square baking pan with non stick cooking spray. Set aside.

Combine sugar, cocoa powder and almond milk in a medium saucepan. Stir to blend. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer but do not stir again.

Place a candy thermometer in pan and cook until temperature reaches 238 degrees Fahrenheit (or until mixture reaches soft ball stage -- a drop of the mixture in a cup of cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when you press it between your fingers).

Remove pan from heat and add butter and vanilla. Beat with a wooden spoon until the fudge loses its sheen. Do not under beat. Then, pour into prepared pan and let cool.
