Dairy-free Fudge (makes one 8 by 8 inch pan)

This recipe was given to me many years ago by a former neighbor who knew about my allergy to dairy products and which I found a good substitute to the real thing. 

3 ¾ cups confectioners sugar 

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon 

½ cup vegan butter plus extra to grease baking pan 

¼ cup vanilla non-dairy beverage 

1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract 

Line 8 by 8 inch baking pan with aluminum foil, allowing foil to extend over the sides.  Grease foil with vegan butter and set aside. 

In a medium bowl, combine confectioners sugar, cocoa and cinnamon. Set aside. 

In a small saucepan, over medium-low heat, heat vegan butter and non-dairy beverage. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract. 

Pour liquid mixture into sugar mixture, blending well. Pour into prepared pan. 

Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Use foil to lift fudge out of pan. Cut fudge into 2 inch squares.
