5-Ingredient Pecan Pie Fudge (paleo, vegan, gluten-free)
Servings 12 pieces
This pecan pie fudge only calls for 5 ingredients and is relatively healthy as far as fudge goes! Naturally paleo, vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) maple syrup
- 1/3 cup (85 grams) natural pecan butter
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup (56 grams) refined coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 5 tablespoons pecans roasted, coarsely chopped, optional
- 12 pecan halves optional
Instructions
- Line a mini muffin pan with 12 waxed or silicone muffin liners. You can alternatively line a small container with parchment paper or waxed paper. This fudge will stick to regular paper liners!
- In a small saucepan, mix together the maple syrup, pecan butter, cinnamon, salt and coconut oil over medium heat. At first it won't appear to come together well. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil and while continuing to stir constantly, boil for about 2 minutes. It should have thickened a bit. If you use a heavy bottom pan, you may need to boil it another minute or two. Stir in the vanilla until well combined. Stir in 5 tablespoons chopped pecans, if using.1/2 cup (120 ml) maple syrup, 1/3 cup (85 grams) natural pecan butter, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 3/8 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup (56 grams) refined coconut oil, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 5 tablespoons pecans
- Pour into the waxed or silicone liners, top with pecan halves, if using, and place the pan in the freezer. If you don't have room in your freezer, refrigerate for a few hours until firm and then transfer the fudge pieces to a small container that does fit in your freezer.12 pecan halves
- Freeze for about 2-3 hours. The liners will be easy to remove once the fudge has thoroughly frozen.
- This fudge does not travel well (unless you have a cooler!) It should be kept refrigerated or frozen.
Notes
- The pecan butter should be the kind with just pecans. See the post for directions on how to make your own.
- I used refined coconut oil, which doesn't have any coconut flavor. If you use unrefined coconut oil, this fudge may have some coconut flavor to it.
