Freezer fudge is one of the easiest ways to create a creamy, delicious healthy snack recipe without much effort in the kitchen. This cashew fudge has just a few ingredients and does not require any cooking!

It’s super simple as well as dairy free, vegan, gluten free, low carb and sugar free! This recipe allows more time doing the things you love rather than being tied up in the kitchen, am I right?

First, you may be wondering what on earth freezer fudge actually is.

Freezer fudge is a new-ish way of making fudge. It has been circulating around the internet for a little while now. Essentially, it has several types of healthy fats, such as coconut cream, butter or oil, a nut/seed butter, some kind of sweetener along with a flavouring like cocoa powder for a chocolate version. Depending on which ingredients you use will alter the taste/type of fudge.

Instead of needing to melt truckloads of sugar and butter together in a saucepan, and cooking it to an exact temperature…and then following a precise technique to get just the right texture…you simply gently melt the fats together, add the other ingredients then pop it in the freezer to set up. The result is a healthier, lighter, yet still fudge-y, fudge that’s naturally sweetened. A win win in my book!

Rich, smooth, squares of fudge bursting with nutty goodness. That’s what we have going on here today, my friends. Count. Me. In!

This cashew freezer fudge is silky smooth, and melts on your tongue. It is rich – as fudge should be – but not overly so. It has a nice nutty flavor that is not cloyingly sweet, like traditional fudge recipes tend to be. Just the right balance of sweet-to-creaminess ratio.

This recipe is a ‘healthified’ take on traditional sugar-loaded candy bars but made with wholesome ingredients. For those days where you are craving a candy bar, but want a healthy, delicious, low-effort way to enjoy the same sweet treat, I’ve got you covered with this recipe. With just a few healthy ingredients you can create a truly delectable bar that tastes better than any store bought version.

I always crave something sweet after dinner and I always have a stash of this fudge in my freezer to satisfy my sweet tooth and stop me over-indulging on something naughty. I’ve been alternating a piece (or two) of this fudge with protein frozen yogurt bars and they are just what I need! Sweet tooth tamed and settled down before any damage is done!  Lol

These bars are crunchy, chewy, sweet, and salty all at once, and taste just like a candy bar. So easy to throw together. Every time I make this recipe, it doesn’t last in my house for more than two days. My family just can’t get enough of it!

This freezer fudge is a nourishing staple for me and my family. I tend to whip up a batch once a week and alter the recipe with whatever pantry ingredients I may have on hand.

Although cashew butter is my favorite base for this recipe (which happens to be packed with minerals including copper, phosphorus, manganese, and zinc), I have also made freezer fudge with sesame butter (tahini), almond and peanut butter, and a mixture of coconut butter and cashew butter. The result is deeply delicious each and every single time. I also find that I rarely measure ingredients, so if you add in a little more or a little less of the ingredients below – no worries; this recipe is very forgivable.

This delightful fudge offers a creamy and crunchy experience like no other, packed with healthy whole food ingredients. With their smooth texture and balanced sweetness, it is sure to tantalize your taste buds and satisfy your cravings. My personal requirements for a sweet treat I love are that there’s different textures and flavors involved, it’s not going to take a ton of ingredients, and I can throw it together very quickly.

This crunchy cashew freezer fudge checks all of those boxes PLUS it’s made with super simple ingredients. Keep it in your freezer for when that sweet treat craving hits after dinner or as an any time healthy snack!

It’s one of the most delicious ways to enjoy a healthy dose of fat, keeping you feeling satiated and satisfied between meals or as a dessert after dinner. This easy fudge uses creamy nut butter and healthy coconut oil and just a few simple everyday ingredients.
