Pumpkin Fudge {Dairy Free}

44 Replies

it’s My favorite time of the year…

I love Autumn. I love cool weather and rainy days. I love the warm nourishing foods we get to enjoy this time of the year. I love to create fun treats that I can give to my family. I use wholesome ingredients in my desserts like coconut oil, coconut butter, grass fed butter and natural sweeteners like raw honey and pure maple syrup. I don’t feel any guilt eating these goodies! My kids enjoy them too!

 

I started making this pumpkin fudge last year. I based the recipe off of my dairy free chocolate fudge recipe. If you love pumpkin and fudge, you’ll love this recipe! You can serve this fudge cut into squares or you can roll the fudge into truffles and sprinkle with cinnamon.

 

Dairy Free Pumpkin Fudge

Ingredients
1. Warm coconut butter in a medium size saucepan over low heat until melted. Turn off heat and add the remaining ingredients. Mix until all ingredients are combined. Pour into an 8×8 inch square pan. Refrigerate fudge for 2-3 hours or until it has set. Cut into squares and serve. You can also roll the fudge squares into balls and dust with extra cinnamon (makes for a prettier presentation) . Enjoy :) .

    Hi there. I clicked the link to your coconut butter recipe and am wondering if the recipe can be tripled or quadrupled to make the two cups called for in this recipe? 4 times 20 minutes would be a lot of blending!! Thanks :)

  • The Coconut Mama

    Hi Heidi,

    Yes, as long as your food processor can handle the amount it should work fine. :)

    You just got me into a whole lotta trouble mama.

    I made my first batch yesterday and couldn’t help but be a little sad that this didn’t taste like my favorite “real” fudge…so I tried another piece just to see what my second impression was. Needless to say, half the pan is gone and I am eyeing the dairy-free pumpkin spiced chocolate I made last night to melt and pour over the top for another layer of yumminess.

    Evil, evil woman. :D

  • The Coconut Mama

    Haha I’m glad you liked it Jennifer!

    Yum! Since I’m a huge raw cacao fan, I added unsweetened cacao paste equivalent to 1/2 a bar in the mix. It made them difficult to roll into balls, but we managed. They are soo good… thank you!

  • Teri

    If you’re not worried about being dairy-free, would regular butter work just as well?

    I just made this and put it in the fridge to set up. I had to taste it first, of course. OhMyHolyCoconut! This is just amazing! Like, lick the bowl and spoon awesome! Thank you oh so much for sharing! No one else in my family likes pumpkin, so the entire pan is mine alone! Hoping it lasts as long as my self control, which, to be honest, really isn’t very long at all. They may be all gone by tomorrow. But it will be soooo worth it!

    This recipe sounds great! I was just wondering though–for us weirdos who dislike the taste of coconut–is there a substitute for the coconut butter? Will regular butter work?

  • The Coconut Mama

    Kristie » Butter won’t work in this recipe :( . The pumpkin and seasoning really cover up the coconut butter in this recipe. I have a friend how doesn’t like coconut and she couldn’t tell there was coconut in these :)

  • http://myjournalkohn.blogspot.com/ Kristie

    Alrighty, thank you!

    When would you roll them into balls? Before you put them in the refrigerator or after they have set?

  • http://thecoconutmama.com/ Tiffany @ The Coconut Mama

    After they have been set :)

  • Enathan92

    is it normal that they are EXTREMELY liquidy before the fridge step? and the pineapple is remaining in some chunks

  • Enathan92

    Hmmm. No. When I’ve made this it is always pretty thick. I hope it sets up for you!

    You’re a gem. I’m adapting this recipe! i’m obsessed with cooking with EVERYTHING coconut – so looks like you will be my new go-to on suggestions. I was wondering what your favorite coconut yogurt/milk brand may be? I’ve been using the only brand I can find at whole foods, but I’m totally in for trying something different as I want something that is nutritionally WHOLE.
