Secret Ingredient:
The secret ingredient that makes this fudge recipe vegan is sweetened condensed coconut milk by a company called Nature’s Charm. Condensed milk is just that, condensed – meaning that most of the liquid has been eliminated. This makes it great for desserts where you want a low water content so it stays rich and thick. Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk can be purchased at Sprouts, Whole Foods or Amazon.
Can’t find sweetened condensed coconut milk near you?
If you can’t find sweetened condensed coconut milk in a store near you, here’s a recipe to make your own:
Homemade Vegan Sweetened condensed Coconut Milk. My favorite part about making it from scratch is it’s refined sugar free.
Also great for making ice cream!
Sweetened Condensed Coconut milk is also excellent for making ice cream, and I have a couple delicious, creamy vegan ice cream recipes hat you might enjoy:

An Important tip when melting chocolate:
When melting chocolate: Make sure not to let any water get into the bowl, not even one drop. This will clump it up and make it unusable. I like to take a paper towel and wipe the inside of the bowl that I’m using to make sure it is completely dry.
Lastly, I should also mention that this is the exact recipe I make for the movie studios here in Los Angeles. What can I say…it’s just that good!! Okay, let’s make some fudge 🙂
