Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup plant-based white chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup plant-based butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
Spices and Setting
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Mix-ins
- 1 cup fluffy marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients, ensuring the plant-based butter is softened and pumpkin puree is smooth. This prep supports a seamless mixing process later on.
- Melt the Base: In a large saucepan over low heat, gently melt the plant-based white chocolate and plant-based butter together, stirring frequently until fully smooth and glossy.
- Add Sweetness and Flavor: Stir in the brown sugar, natural vanilla extract, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and pumpkin puree. Continue stirring until the mixture is well combined and warm.
- Incorporate Spices and Natural Gelling Agent: Gradually add the cinnamon, nutmeg, and natural gelling agent, stirring continuously to ensure even distribution and proper thickening of the fudge.
- Fold in Marshmallows: Remove the pan from heat and gently fold in the fluffy marshmallows, maintaining their soft texture within the fudge.
- Set and Chill: Pour the fudge mixture into a lined square pan and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours until firm and set before slicing.
Notes
- Use quality plant-based white chocolate and fresh pumpkin puree for the richest flavor.
- Melt chocolate and butter over low heat to prevent burning or grainy texture.
- Measure spices carefully to avoid overpowering the balance.
- Do not skip chilling; a full set in the refrigerator ensures clean-cut pieces.
- For neat slices, run a sharp knife under warm water before cutting.
