Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cream cheese (plant-based)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 2 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature for even mixing and smooth texture.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: Melt the plant-based butter over low heat in a medium saucepan. Slowly whisk in the pumpkin puree and plant-based cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the maple syrup (natural) and vanilla extract (natural) until fully incorporated.
  3. Add Spices and Salt: Mix ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of sea salt into the wet mixture, stirring thoroughly for even flavor distribution.
  4. Incorporate the Natural Gelling Agent: Gradually sprinkle the natural gelling agent into the saucepan while continuously stirring to prevent clumping. Cook gently on low heat until the fudge thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Pour and Chill: Transfer the mixture into a lined baking dish or mold. Spread evenly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm and sliceable.
  6. Slice and Serve: Once chilled, slice the fudge into bite-sized pieces and serve or store as desired.
