Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can I make this recipe without coconut milk?
A: No, coconut milk is essential for this recipe as it provides the creaminess and richness to the fudge. You can try using another type of full-fat non-dairy milk, such as cashew or soy milk, but the texture may be slightly different.
Q: Can I use liquid sweetener instead of powdered sugar?

Q: How do I cut the fudge into squares?
A: Use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into even squares. You can also dip the knife in hot water to make cutting easier.

Q: Can I make this vegan Oreo fudge without a saucepan?
A: Yes, you can use a double boiler or microwave to melt the ingredients instead of a saucepan. When using a microwave, make sure to melt the ingredients in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, to avoid burning the chocolate.
Q: Can I make this recipe without powdered sugar?
