Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based cream
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée (fresh preferred)
  • 3/4 cup natural brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/4 cup chopped smoked turkey bacon

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and measure precisely. Soften the plant-based cream slightly for easier blending, and have the pumpkin purée ready.
  2. Combine Pumpkin and Cream: In a medium saucepan over low heat, gently warm the pumpkin purée with the plant-based cream. Stir frequently until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Sugar and Spices: Sprinkle in the brown sugar (natural), cinnamon (natural), and nutmeg (natural). Stir until the sugar dissolves completely and spices are evenly mixed, releasing warm aromas.
  4. Incorporate Natural Gelling Agent: Sprinkle the natural gelling agent over the mixture and whisk continuously. This step is key to achieving the perfect fudge consistency.
  5. Add Flavor Enhancers: Mix in the vanilla extract (natural) and a splash of vegetarian Worcestershire sauce to brighten and balance the flavor profile.
  6. Cook and Set: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring constantly, then pour into a lined pan. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and smoked turkey bacon if using. Allow the fudge to cool and set at room temperature before refrigerating.
  7. Slice and Serve: Once fully set, cut the fudge into bite-sized squares. Serve as is or paired with your favorite fall accompaniments.

Notes

  • Use fresh pumpkin purée for best flavor and texture.
  • Keep the heat low to avoid burning sugar or curdling the cream.
  • Stir frequently to ensure even mixing and prevent clumps.
  • Test the gelling by chilling a small amount before pouring the entire batch.
  • Adjust sugar levels to taste while maintaining creamy texture.
