Don’t you just love the food that both looks and tastes amazingly? Even though the goal of this website is not to make Instagram-friendly but tasty and whole food recipes, a dessert like this is a true delight for all senses. Simply because it looks beautiful, and with ingredients like strawberry and pistachios – the “mmmmm…” moment is guaranteed!
Of course, you can play with the main ingredients of this vegan fudge and try other fruits and nuts. However, this combination promises true indulgence and perfectly balanced sweetness, creaminess, and crunchiness.

The best way to shape the fudge is to pour it into the silicon ice maker. It would be easier to remove them once frozen. Depending on the size of the individual mold, the below-listed amount should be enough for 12 very large or up to 20 smaller pieces.
The only tricky part when it comes to this dessert is to learn its defrosting time scheme. What I mean by this is not to leave it outside of the freezer to thaw for too long before consumption. Optimal time would be between 10 and 20 mins, depending on the room temperature. After that, the strawberry pistachio fudge starts to melt and lose shape.
As far as the storage goes, it should be kept in the freezer, not in the fridge. You can defrost it and freeze again a couple of times – if, by some miracle, the fudge survives as long.
