Snickerdoodle Fudge: A Study in Cinnamon-Sugar Titration
In the Sweetly Measured lab, the Snickerdoodle is an icon of "texture and aroma". Traditionally, this profile relies on heavy refined sugars and flour, but we’ve re-engineered it into a dense, velvety fudge that is entirely no-bake, vegan, and grain-free. By focusing on a neutral, buttery base, we allow the warm cinnamon-sugar swirl to take center stage without being overly sweet.
The Technical Specs
• Yield: 9 Squares
• Prep time: 10 minutes
• Chill Time: 30 Minutes
• The Base: We utilize raw cashew butter (or almond butter) as the primary nut base to achieve a neutral, "cookie dough" profile.
• The Fats: Melted refined coconut oil and full-fat coconut milk provide the necessary lipids for a professional, stable set that melts on the tongue.
• The Sweetener: Pure maple syrup provides a clean sweetness that complements the woodsy notes of the cinnamon.
• The Flour: Coconut flour acts as the moisture-wicking agent to ensure the fudge is dense rather than oily.

Ingredients
Ingredients
The Base:
- 5 tbsp coconut flour
- 2/3 C raw cashew butter, may substitute with almond butter
- 5 tbsp refined coconut oil, melted
- 1/3 C - 1/2C maple syrup, to taste
- 1/4 C full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
The Cinnamon-Sugar Swirl:
- 1/3 C granulated coconut, maple, or raw cane sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preparation: Line a large loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Combine Fats: In a large bowl, combine the melted refined coconut oil and cashew butter. Stir until the mixture is uniform and smooth.
- Titrate Liquids: Add the maple syrup, coconut milk, and vanilla. Stir until fully combined.
- Integrate Flour: Stir in the coconut flour. Fully combine the batter until it thickens into a professional fudge consistency.
- The Swirl: In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and coconut sugar. Use a knife to swirl half of this mixture into the batter, then dump the batter into the loaf pan and smooth the top. Spread the remaining cinnamon-sugar over the surface.
- Set: Freeze for 20–30 minutes or until the fudge has reached its final set.
- Finish: Cut into 9 squares and store in an airtight container in the freezer for the best texture.
