3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Fudge

This 3-ingredient peanut butter fudge is the perfect sweet treat that’s quick, easy, and absolutely delicious. With just a few wholesome ingredients, it takes only five minutes to prepare and can be stored for up to two weeks in the fridge, or even longer in the freezer.

The rich creaminess of peanut butter blends perfectly with the natural sweetness of honey and the smooth texture of melted coconut oil. It’s so simple to make, yet the results feel like an indulgence. If you’re looking for a vegan option, just swap the honey for maple syrup, and if peanut butter isn’t your favourite, this recipe works just as well with almond, cashew, or any nut butter you love.

Tips

• Use very ripe bananas (with brown spots) for natural sweetness and a smoother texture.
• For a creamier fudge, you can blend the mixture in a food processor instead of mashing by hand.
• Silicone moulds work best as they make it super easy to pop out the fudge once frozen.
• These are meant to be eaten straight from the freezer—don’t leave them out too long as they’ll soften quickly.

Swaps

Peanut butter: Swap with almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter for a different flavour or to suit allergies

Coconut oil: You can swap the coconut oil with unsalted butter if you’re not aiming for a plant-based version. Just melt the butter before mixing it in—use the same quantity (20ml) as the coconut oil.

Storage

In the freezer: Keep the fudge in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Because it’s made with bananas and no stabilisers, it needs to stay frozen to hold its shape.
To serve: Take out as many pieces as you like and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before eating—just enough to soften slightly without melting.

Notes

tip: if your peanut butter is a bit more solid than what it should be, add the bowl with all the ingredients in the microwave for 10secs at a time, stir, and again. This will make the mixing process much easier.
