Thursday, April 16: Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Freezer Fudge

This is one of those recipes where I think, “Is this *actually* going to taste good?” — well, spoiler alert, it DOES! This peanut butter cookie dough freezer fudge is only three ingredients (four if you add chocolate chips) and is the perfect sweet treat. Matt and I have basically been eating it as a dessert after every meal of the day! You keep it in the freezer so it has the most delicious chewy texture and really tastes like cookie dough. YUM. I’ve already made two batches since we eat it so quickly!

See recipe by Six Vegan Sisters here.

Notes:

• Be sure to take their advice and chill the plain dough before adding your mix-ins! The first time I made this I didn’t wait long enough and my chocolate chips totally melted into the dough (not necessarily a bad thing, just not what I wanted). Now I always put it in the fridge until totally chilled (an hour or so), and it will still be soft enough to stir in the chocolate chips.

• I’m paranoid about food safety so I actually heat treat my oat flour first by microwaving it for 1 minute 20 seconds, stirring every 20 seconds.

• I just slice the fudge into squares (I don’t do the “break apart” method) and keep them in a parchment-paper lined Tupperware in my freezer. If you don’t line with parchment, the fudge might stick to your container and be impossible to remove — very frustrating when all you want is a piece of fudge!!
