Just Beet It 5-Ingredient Red Velvet Fudge

This vegan red velvet fudge garners its deep red hue from beet juice! Fresh beet juice is warmed and whisked with coconut butter, pure maple syrup, cacao powder, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Then, it's poured into a mold, chilled, and sliced into rich, delectable, and chocolaty red velvet squares.

  • Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until completely set.
  • Pop the fudge out of the pan and slice it into squares.
