    This No Bake Pumpkin Fudge is not only ridiculously simple to make, but also nutritious, gluten free, dairy free, vegan and sugar free!

    This fudge has a hint of pumpkin, and a lot of fudge taste.   This is made with cacao (aka raw chocolate bean, without all of the processed junk) and it tastes much healthier than your Hershey's fudge.  

    Now don't get me wrong, I am not knocking Hershey's, I would rather eat this kind of fudge without all the guilt!

    This is one of the easiest, healthiest pumpkin recipe you will find! Next to my pumpkin pie recipe of course. You might also like my Easy Pumpkin Mousse, Pumpkin Spice Chia Seed Pudding and these No Bake Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes!

    All of these would be even more yummy with some Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate, Apple Chai Latte and definitely some Spiked Apple Cider!

    Why You Should Make This Pumpkin Fudge

    This delicious pumpkin fudge is less than 100 calories, only 7 grams of net carbs (even less if you use a sugar free sweetener) and is low in fat and sugar. It's everything I want in an after dinner treat.

    Since this pumpkin fudge is so easy to make, you can whip it up in no time. The hardest part is waiting for it to harden in the refrigerator.

    Keep these simple ingredients in your house at all times for whenever a pumpkin fudge craving happens, because I bet it happens a lot.

    This pumpkin fudge also makes a wonderful gift for friends and family. Especially ones that are trying to eat healthier and struggle with finding nutritious treats and desserts.

    Recipe Tips

    This fudge stays in my refrigerator for when I have a chocolate craving (which seems to be often these days).  I added chocolate chips (vegan ones) to add a crunchy texture to them but I bet cacao nibs would be equally as delicious.  I just  happen to run out of them!

    See how easy it to make these?  I prefer rolling them into bars (it's easier) but cutting them into squares makes it look more fudge-like.  Whatever you'd like, it taste great both ways.
