Published 9/24/2018 • Updated 10/3/2023 Every fall, when I’m back in the kitchen baking up a storm I end up with leftover pumpkin puree. What should you do with 1/2 cup of leftover puree? FREEZER FUDGE! I love this recipe because it tastes just like fudge, yet it’s not made with any refined sugar (hello maple syrup!). I also love that it’s stored in the freezer so that I don’t eat the whole pan in one sitting.
What You Need for Pumpkin Freezer Fudge
Freezer fudge is similar to one of our most famous desserts – nut butter cups! This variation made with the base of almond butter, coconut oil, pumpkin puree, and maple syrup. It also has a little ground cinnamon and a few mini chocolate chips for good measure.
Variations
I’ve made this freezer fudge with peanut butter instead of almond butter and I almost like it better (shhhhh). You can really use whatever nut butter you have on hand. If you don’t have maple syrup, try using honey or agave. Feel free to swap in chai spice or pumpkin pie spice in place of the ground cinnamon.
How to Store Freezer Fudge
Freezer is in the name of this pumpkin freezer fudge, so make sure not to leave it on teh counter for too long or it will get too soft. We like to slice these into bars and then store them in a gallon-size plastic bag for reasy access.
