Enter the two lovers:
Katherine, the newly vegan, sugar-deprived youth with an insatiable lust for desserts she can't have…
and
chocolate, the magical, elusive remedy to all her woes.
When mixed together on a sleep-deprived night of a very mushy, very lonely holiday, you get:
CHOCOLATE VEGAN FUDGE!!!
Yes folks, you heard me right, there is a god in this world. Close to midnight on Valentine's Day, I felt a sudden impulse to make something delicious. I don't remember much of what happened after that, but i woke the next day to find a pan of fudge in my fridge and an immaculately clean kitchen. We can only speculate what went down.
In reality, I did stay up until one in the morning making vegan chocolate fudge and I don't regret it. This simple dessert tastes sinfully sweet and is the perfect addition to the holiday famous for its non-vegan treats. I felt like a ghiradelli master chocolatier swirling the molten chocolate with the spoon.
My only complaint to this recipe is the consistency of the fudge does not keep well at room temperature. It didn't harden to the typical chewiness of fudge when left out or even in the fridge. I kept mine in the freezer and this seemed to resolve the problem.
I cut mine into little hearts and other shapes under the guise of being cute and romantic, but really I was trying to make this scrumptious dessert last as long as possible.
'Til next time!
