Healthy Cake Batter Fudge
This secretly healthy Cake Batter Fudge is soft, fudgy, and sweet, cake-flavored deliciousness that melts in your mouth!
You’d never know it’s made without the butter, white flour, white sugar and corn syrup, and you’d surely never guess that it’s low sugar, gluten free, dairy free, and vegan too!
To coat this fudge in sprinkles or to not coat this fudge in sprinkles?
That is not even a question…
You obviously coat this fudge in sprinkles 😉
Healthy Cake Batter Fudge
You'd never know this secretly healthy Cake Batter Fudge is made without the butter, flour and sugar! Low sugar, gluten free, dairy free, and vegan too!
Ingredients
- 1 14oz package Organic Extra Firm Tofu (room temperature**)
- 369g (1½ cups) Unsweetened Applesauce
- 1 tbs Vanilla Extract
- 1 tbs Natural Butter Flavor
- 1½ tsp Liquid Stevia Extract
- 256g (1 cup) Raw Coconut Butter (melted)
- 70g (½ cup) Powdered Erythritol
- 40g (⅓ cup) Oat Flour
- ⅛ tsp Salt
- ½ cup Natural Rainbow Sprinkles
Instructions
- Line an 8x8" brownie pan with parchment paper both ways.
- Drain the package of tofu. Place the tofu block in between paper towels and press on it to remove as much liquid as possible. Press it hard enough so that it pretty much loses its shape and crumbles into chunks**
- Add the tofu, applesauce, vanilla extract, butter flavor and stevia extract to a food processor. Puree until smooth. While blending, pour in the melted coconut butter. Puree until smooth.
- Add the powdered erythritol, oat flour and salt. Puree until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the processor and blend one last time.
- Scoop the entire mixture into the prepared brownie pan and spread it out (it should be like spreading out frosting). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4+ hours (or freeze for ~2 hours).
- Transfer the fudge out of the pan and slice into 36 pieces.
- Add the sprinkles to a shallow dish, then roll the fudge in to coat. Serve immediately, or refrigerate covered for up to 5 days, or freeze in a tightly sealed container for up to 1 month.
Recipe Notes
**My block of tofu weighed 390g after draining and pressing.

Since my Raspberry Coconut Fudge was such a hit, I wanted to make a variation of the recipe for you guys. How about Healthy Cake Batter Fudge? Oh yes, puh-lease. A lot of people asked if that recipe could also be made vegan, so I decided to veganize this variation. I substituted the dairy in the original recipe with tofu (don’t worry, you don’t taste it)!
Enjoy!

With love and good eats,

Jessica,
Thank you for creating so many delicious vegan recipes on your blog! As a vegan, it is wonderful to make yummy treats that both myself and my non-vegan family members enjoy. You have helped me show my family that a vegan lifestyle can include delicious food, and for that I am forever grateful! Happy holidays 🙂
Awwww thank you so much Alexa!! Your comment brought a huge smile to my face 😀
I’m definitely trying to make more vegan recipes on the blog. Sadly, I’ve had a ton of recipe failures lately, especially when I make vegan cakes… they’re always so dense. Crossing my fingers for more success in that category!
