Sweet, nutty, so so so so so good! It is, completely irresistible!!! Good thing it’s so easy to make!!!!

I was asked by a friend at work who is gluten intolerant if I could make her a recipe one of her favourite traditional French desserts. Yes, that does mean that it includes puff pastry – I’m still working on it – but we are both confident that I will get there! (For all those interested in puff pastry recipes watch this space for updates!!!)

Whilst we were thrashing out recipe possibilities over google hangout, she asked me what I felt had recently been my greatest achievement. I didn’t have to think for a moment I knew immediately. Dairy-free, vegan fudge!

A fudge lover of old I had thought it would be something I could never have again, certainly not in the same form, but when I tasted this I knew I would be making it in various flavours forever!!

It’s just soooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. Simply delectable, melt-in-the mouth perfection! My Grandmother has always loved brazil nut fudge, one of the reasons that I started here! It definitely turned out to be a family favourite!

Once we started talking about dairy-free fudge a million different fudge ideas started to surface! Can’t wait to get experimenting!!!

But in the meantime – grab your saucepans and whisks – its baking time!!! :D
