Can I use fresh pumpkin puree instead of canned for this fudge?

While canned pumpkin ensures consistent moisture and texture, you could use fresh pumpkin puree if it's very thick and well-drained to avoid making the fudge too soft.

How should I store leftover Maple Pumpkin Fudge?

Keep the cut fudge squares stored in an airtight container in the fridge. For longer storage, you can also freeze the fudge.

What gives this vegan fudge its creamy texture?

The creamy texture comes from the combination of soft coconut oil and smooth cashew butter, which both firm up nicely when chilled in the freezer.

Can I adjust the sweetness level of this fudge?

Yes, you can adjust the amount of maple syrup to your preference. Start with the recommended 1/4 cup and taste the batter before freezing, adding more if desired.

How long does it take for the fudge to set completely?

The fudge needs to be placed in the freezer for at least 1 hour, or until it becomes completely solid, before you can cut it into squares.
