Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some extra hanging over the sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the vegan dark chocolate chips, full-fat coconut milk, coconut oil, and maple syrup. Stir gently and continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat, and stir in the vanilla extract, sea salt, and unsweetened cocoa powder until well incorporated.
Fold in the pureed Medjool dates, ensuring the mixture is evenly combined. The dates will add natural sweetness and help bind the fudge.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is set and firm.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper. Place it on a cutting board and slice it into 12 equal bars.
Store the vegan chocolate fudge bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy!
