Ingredients
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed coconut milk (vegan alternative)
- 1 bag (12 ounces) vegan white chocolate chips
- 1 stick (½ cup) vegan butter
- 1 bag (approx. 17.5 ounces) vegan sugar cookie mix
- Vegan sprinkles (for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients:
- Gather all your ingredients and ensure your sugar cookie mix and sprinkles are vegan-friendly. Pre-measure everything to streamline the cooking process.
- Melt and Combine:
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed coconut milk and vegan butter. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the butter has melted and the mixture is well combined.
- Add Chocolate Chips:
- Add the vegan white chocolate chips to the saucepan. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 5-10 minutes.
- Incorporate Sugar Cookie Mix:
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Gradually stir in the vegan sugar cookie mix until well combined. The mixture should be thick and smooth.
- Prepare Pan:
- Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
- Pour and Set:
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Add Sprinkles:
- Immediately decorate the top with vegan sprinkles, pressing them lightly into the surface of the fudge.
- Chill:
- Let the fudge cool to room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Cut and Serve:
- Once the fudge is set, lift it out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
Tips
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Vegan fudge can last for up to 2 weeks when properly stored.
- Customization: Feel free to add other mix-ins like chopped nuts or dried fruit for added texture and flavor.
Enjoy your delicious, creamy, and festive vegan sugar cookie fudge!
