This melt-in-your-mouth Maple Pecan Fudge has a rich chocolate flavor and is studded with buttery, crunchy pecans. Dairy-Free, Vegan, &amp; 5 Ingredients!

Maple Pecan Fudge

(118 g) coconut cream*

vanilla extract

sea salt

(200 g) high-quality dark chocolate (a bar, not chips)

(56 g) chopped pecans, divided

Prep: 

line a 8&#215;4&#8243; (or similar sized) loaf pan with parchment paper, then set aside.

the coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt together in a small bowl, then set aside.

Melt the Chocolate: 

Double-Boiler: 

fill a sauce pan with 1-2&#8243; of water, then place a glass bowl over the top. Bring the water to a boil over high-heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Chop the chocolate roughly into small chunks and place in the glass bowl. Allow the heat from the bowl to melt the chocolate, using a clean and dry spatula to stir well. Continue warming the chocolate until it is 80% melted, then carefully remove the bowl from the pot. Stir with the spatula until completely melted.

Whisk! 

Whisk the chocolate rapidly as you slowly pour the maple-mixture into it; the chocolate will immediately begin to thicken and turn glossy. Fold half of the pecans into the melted mixture.

Set &amp; Slice: 

transfer the melted chocolate into the lined pan, then top with remaining pecans. Gently drop the pan onto the counter a few times, to remove any air bubbles. Place the fudge in the fridge until set, around 3-4 hours. Once set, remove from the pan, then slice and serve! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 days.

Tried this one tonight! Delicious as per usual! Perfect fudgy texture! It was VERY hard to be patient while it set! Love all your recipes! Thanks for all your hard work creating all these great recipes! ????

So delicious and I was very happy/surprised the coconut flavor did not overpower the chocolate or maple flavor as it tends to do sometimes!
I appreciate that this vegan fudge has more simple and easy to find pantry staples rather than things like 'sweetened condensed coconut milk' (in a lot of other fudge recipes i've found) because those ingredients can be hard to find where I live. 

I didn't have a chocolate bar on hand... so I did use chocolate chips and I am happy to report that it was still silky and delicious! I'm sure it would be even better with a chocolate bar though, but happy to know choc chips work in a pinch! 
I also subbed walnuts for the pecans and added vegan marshmallows to the top for a rocky road fudge, sooo yummy!!
