GFCF Fudge?
I think so!
I make fudge every year for Christmas with the Fantasy Fudge recipe on the back of the Jet-puffed marshmallow creme. It is simply delicious. It's also full of dairy which causes me so much congestion I've done my best to cut it out of my diet. I wasn't going to make fudge at all this year but decided to pick up a box of the Baker's Chocolate Squares just to check the ingredients and realized they're dairy free! (They are processed on equipment that is used to process dairy, but I don't think I'm that sensitive to it.)
The next ingredient I checked was the marshmallow creme. It's dairy free but it does have powdered egg whites. Eggs make me incredibly stiff (I think due to sulfur) but I'm going to take a chance on this. Maybe powdered egg whites are sulfur free???
I subbed coconut oil for the butter in equal parts, used plain ol' white sugar and almond milk to replace the evaporated milk.
I was worried at first as I stirred the almond milk, coconut oil, and sugar over medium high heat, the mixture was completely separated. I thought I might end up having to dump it. Once it started to boil though everything came together just right.
I will not lie and say this is healthy in any way, but if you're looking for a little treat for the holidays this could be it! And it's much less expensive than the gfcf chocolates I've seen advertised online.
There is soy in it, along with the egg whites so not allergy free for all unfortunately but a step in the right direction!
( Ok, so it looks awful. I didn't have the marshmallow creme completely mixed in and tried to swirl it in as it was cooling, but it tastes great!)
