Indulge in the creamy, guilt-free decadence of Quick Peanut Butter Carob Fudge—a no-bake, dairy-free treat that comes together in just 10 minutes! Featuring a rich blend of creamy peanut butter, velvety carob powder, and the natural sweetness of maple syrup, this fudge is a perfect alternative to traditional chocolatey desserts. Coconut oil lends a luscious texture, while a pinch of sea salt enhances its deep, nutty flavor. Add a handful of chopped nuts for a delightful crunch or keep it silky smooth—the choice is yours. Freezer-friendly and easy to prepare with minimal effort, this vegan, gluten-free fudge makes a delightful snack or dessert for any occasion.
Line a small 8x8-inch baking dish or loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing some paper to hang over the sides for easy removal later.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
Whisk in the carob powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
If adding chopped nuts, fold them into the mixture for extra texture.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared dish, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure an even layer.
Place the dish in the freezer for at least 1 hour, or until the fudge is firm to the touch.
Once the fudge has set, remove it from the freezer and use the parchment paper to lift it out of the pan.
Slice the fudge into small squares and serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
