First of all, I think the name for this is a bit misleading. It should be called, “Ridiculously easy, 5-ingredient, no-cook, no-bake, one-bowl, rich chocolatey goodness that is secretly healthy”.
But seriously, who in the world is going to search for that or even read the recipe after a title like that?
So, Vegan Chocolate Freezer Fudge it is. This is one of those recipes that I’ve seen a bazillion times on Pinterest and many food blogs. It is easy, so tasty, vegan, refined sugar-free, naturally gluten free, grain free and the perfect thing to have tucked away in your freezer for when you want a bite of chocolate.
I created this version a couple of months ago when we wanted to get more healthy fats into our older son. Needless to say, it is not a battle getting him to eat a piece of this. 😉
NOTES:
- A high-powered blender is best!
- You can use any type of silicone candy mold you want and the number of pieces you get will depend on the shape and size of the mold(s). I do recommend smaller size bites as they are easier to eat and each piece is rich!
- If you don’t want to use a candy mold, just use a spatula to spread into a baking dish. Once set, crack into chunks or cut into cubes.

Vegan Chocolate Freezer Fudge
- 1 cup refined coconut oil melted
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon finely ground sea salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
-
Combine all ingredients in the canister of a blender. Blend until smooth and well incorporated.
-
If you have a candy mold, use a spatula to spread the fudge into the mold. I like to then use a kitchen scraper (the back of a chef's knife will also work!) to scrape off excess.
If you don't have candy molds, you can use a rectangle baking dish and then just break off pieces once it is set.
-
Place in the freezer for about an hour. Once set, pop the fudge out of the candy mold into a freezer safe storage container and Enjoy as desired!
Number of pieces depends on size of mold.

You used to have a recipe for peanut butter freezer fudge. Where did it go? I loved it and can’t seem to find it. I know the ingredients are similar but I can’t recall the proportions.
Hey Sam! I’ve been cleaning up my recipe database and some recipes were archived. Here are the measurements:
1 cup Creamy Salted Peanut Butter
1 cup organic virgin coconut oil
1/4 cup pure Maple syrup
2 T non-dairy milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
pinch finely ground sea salt
Thanks for reading Everydaymaven 🙂
Yum…just made them…put them in the molds…after 10 minutes I couldn’t resist…I opened the freezer and took one out (had already set)..these need to come with a ‘warning label’ – love the smooth texture too!! The kids better finish school soon…..there may be nothing left..
They froze that quick Debs!? Love it – good to know 🙂 So glad you like them!
I’ve recently gone off the top 8 allergens which doesn’t leave many options for sweet treats! These look yummmmmmmm and easy. Can’t wait to try!
Hope you love them Ruth!
Hi Alyssa!
Would this work using raw cacao powder instead of the cocoa?
Also, is there a substitute I could use for the maple syrup – it is so outrageously expensive here in Australia.
Many thanks!
Cheers,
Megs.
Hi Meg! Yes, raw cacao would definitely work. Do you have access to good quality local raw honey? That would work but you might need just a touch more as the raw cacao tends to be a bit more bitter.
Thanks for the reply Alyssa!
Luckily we do have access to some beeautiful local raw honey here (sorry, pun intended!) and I purchased some from our farmers market yesterday.
Now, where’s that mixing bowl…!
: )
Perfect Megs! Let me know how they turned out with the honey 🙂
Yay for healthy fudge! I love using coconut oil to make decadent chocolate like this recipe!
