Vegan Chocolate Avocado Fudge
Who says fudge has to be loaded with butter and cream to be ridiculously delicious?Â
This Vegan Chocolate Avocado Fudge is the ultimate guilt-free indulgence—silky, rich, and packed with chocolatey goodness, all thanks to a sneaky little superstar: avocado!Â
Yep, you heard me. Creamy avocado blends seamlessly into this fudge, giving it that melt-in-your-mouth texture without any dairy.
Plus, it’s so easy to make, you’ll wonder why you haven’t been whipping this up all along.
Perfect for satisfying sweet cravings, impressing guests, or just treating yourself (because you deserve it!).
How to Make It
Note:Â This is an overview. See the recipe card below for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
1. Blend the Base: In a food processor, blend ripe avocado, cocoa powder, and melted coconut oil until ultra-smooth. Scrape down the sides to make sure no sneaky chunks remain—this is key for that velvety texture!
2. Sweeten It Up:Â Add maple syrup (or your favorite liquid sweetener) and vanilla extract, then blend again until perfectly creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
3. Set & Chill: Pour the mixture into a lined loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt or chopped nuts if you’re feeling fancy. Pop it in the freezer for at least 2 hours to firm up.
4. Slice & Enjoy! Once set, cut into squares and devour. Keep any leftovers (yeah, right) in the fridge or freezer for future cravings.
Pro Tips
- Use ripe but not overripe avocados—they should be creamy, not stringy or brown.
- For extra richness, swap cocoa powder with melted dark chocolate (just make sure it’s vegan!).
- Add-ins? Try folding in crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or a pinch of espresso powder for depth.
- Struggling to slice? Run your knife under hot water for cleaner cuts.
Storage
- Fridge:Â Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Freezer: Store for up to 1 month—just thaw for 5 minutes before eating.
- Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Note
- Too soft? Your avocado might have been too large—add extra cocoa powder (1 tbsp at a time) to thicken.
- For firmer fudge, use ¼ cup coconut oil.
- No food processor? Mash avocado by hand and whisk vigorously—it’ll be slightly less smooth but still delicious!
