Guest guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Where my husband works one of his colleagues was talking about a microwave fudge recipe. Obviously this was not a vegan recipe - containing butter, cream and condensed milk. It would be really good to make a vegan version (if it would work in the microwave). Vegan versions of butter and cream can be used but what do you think would replace the condensed milk? Any ideas? Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 INGREDIENTS: 6 tablespoons margarine 3 1/2 cups powdered (confectioners) sugar 1/2 cup cocoa 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 cup soymilk 1 cup chopped nuts (optional) PREPARATION: Lightly grease a 5x9 inch loaf pan using a little of the margarine. Place the remaining margarine, sugar, cocoa, vanilla and soy milk in a heatproof mixing bowl or the upper part of a double broiler. Place the bowl or broiler over simmering water and stir until smooth. Add the nuts if desired. Pour the mixture quickly into the prepared pan. Chill thoroughly and cut into squares. Makes 2 to 3 dozen squares. OR PLAIN FUDGE 850g/1 3/4 lb sugar 300mls/ 1/2 pint soya milk 120g/ 4oz soya margarine (this is better for a more 'buttery' flavour) 2 tsp vanilla extract Oil a square tin ( about 18cm/7 inch). Pour the soya milk into a pan and slowly bring to the boil. Add the sugar and the soya margarine and heat slowly, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved and the margarine has melted. Bring to the boil and cover the pan. Boil for 2 minutes, then uncover and continue to boil stirring occasionally until it reaches soft ball stage (it is sort of essential that you use a sugar thermometer for this...it should read 115-116C/238 to 240F). Take off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and leave to cool for 5 minutes. Beat until it begins to lose its gloss and is thick. Pour into the tin and allow to cool before cutting into squares. ( of course vegan fudge can be bought from both VIVA! And Dr Hadwens Trust) Peter H "veganfitness" <veganfitness Sent: Tuesday, 4 September, 2007 7:10:57 PMRe: Fudge heartwerk <jo.heartwork@ gmail.com>@gro ups.comTue, 4 Sep 2007 2:47 am Fudge Where my husband works one of his colleagues was talking about a microwave fudge recipe.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Hey Jo, Found this recipe for fudge in the Peta cookbook...I think I have several other fudge recipes, if this one isn't good let me know. I tried the tabouli recipe out of this book and it was just awful. LOL I haven't tried this particular recipe yet, but some of the other dessert recipes are awesome. EASY FUDGE 6 Tablespoons (3/4 stick) margarine 3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar 1/2 cup sifted cocoa powder 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 cup soy milk 1 cup chopped nuts (optional) Lightly grease a 5 x 9-inch loaf pan using a little of the margarine. Place the remaining margarine, sugar, cocoa, vanilla, and soy milk in a heatproof mixing bowl or the upper part of a double boiler. Place the bowl or boiler over simmering water and stir until smooth. Add the nuts if desired. Pour the mixture quickly into the prepared pan. Chill thoroughly and cut into squares. Makes 2 to 3 dozen squares Prep time 15 mins Chilling time 1 hour Source: The Compassionate Cook by Peta -- In , veganfitness wrote: > > > > > heartwerk <jo.heartwork > > Tue, 4 Sep 2007 2:47 am > Fudge > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Where my husband works one of his colleagues was talking about a > > microwave fudge recipe.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Carob Fudge 1/2 cup raw cashew pieces 1/2 cup mild soy milk 1/2 cup unsweetened carob chips 4 Tablespoons malt syrup 1 teaspoon cold-pressed vegetable oil 2 Tablespoons grated coconut 1/8 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons natural vanilla extract 2 Tablespoons almond butter or raw tahini 1/2 cup chopped walnuts 1. Place the cashews and soymilk in a blender or food processor. Blend at high speed for 5 minutes. The mixture will be creamy. 2. Place the cashew cream, carob chips, malt syrup, oil, coconut, and salt in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring. Cover and continue to boil over medium heat for 3 minutes. Remove cover and continue to boil, stirring occasionally, until temperature reaches 230 degrees F on a candy thermometer, or until a small amount dropped into cold water forms a soft ball. 3. Remove from the heat. Let cool for about 15 minutes. Stir in the vanilla and almond butter and beat with a wooden spoon. Stir in the walnuts. 4. Pour out into a lightly oiled 9-by-9-inch baking pan and refrigerate, covered for at least 2 hours.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Hi Fraggle Do you reckon I should just increase the amounts to replace the condensed milk? Jo Re: Fudge vegan margarine and soy milk should work fine.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Hi Jo For anyone who has the " Sinfully Vegan " book, just make a batch of the fluffy chocolate icing, and stick it in the fridge for a couple of days - it makes an amazingly good chocolate fudge!
