Description

This Peanut Butter Pumpkin Fudge is a creamy, no-bake treat combining the warm spices of fall with rich peanut butter and pure pumpkin. Perfectly sweetened with maple syrup and lightly spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, this fudge is easy to prepare and freezes to a perfect texture, making it a delicious seasonal dessert or snack that’s both indulgent and wholesome.

Ingredients

Fudge Mixture

  • 7.5 oz Pure Pumpkin (½ can)
  • ⅛ cup coconut oil
  • 3 tbsp peanut butter (creamy)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves

Toppings (Optional)

  • Chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pure pumpkin, coconut oil, creamy peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  2. Add Spices: Add cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves to the pumpkin mixture. Stir again to evenly incorporate the warm spices for flavor balance.
  3. Prepare Pan: Line a square baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easy. Pour the fudge batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
  4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle chopped pecans over the top of the fudge mixture if desired, adding a crunchy texture and nutty flavor.
  5. Freeze: Place the pan in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours to allow the fudge to set and firm up properly.
  6. Slice: Once frozen solid, remove the fudge from the freezer and lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper. Slice into individual pieces for serving.
  7. Store: Transfer the fudge pieces into an airtight container and return to the freezer. Keep frozen until ready to enjoy for best texture and freshness.

Notes

  • Ensure the coconut oil is melted but not hot before mixing for better consistency.
  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth texture; chunky peanut butter can alter the consistency.
  • For a sweeter fudge, you can add a little more maple syrup to taste.
  • Store fudge in the freezer to maintain firmness; thaw slightly before serving if desired.
  • Chopped pecans are optional but add a nice crunch and complementary flavor.
