Vanilla Fudge played a farewell concert at the Phil Basile's Action House on March 14, 1970. After that, Bogert and Appice departed to form another group, [[Cactus (American band)|Cactus]],<ref name="LarkinHR"/> that they had been planning since late 1969. They ended up leaving Cactus and formed [[Beck, Bogert & Appice]] with guitarist [[Jeff Beck]] in 1972.<ref name="LarkinHR"/> Stein, left on his own, tried to keep Vanilla Fudge afloat with two new players, Sal D'Nofrio (bass) and Jimmy Galluzi (drums), both of whom had been members of a [[Poughkeepsie, New York]], group known as The Dirty Elbows. But when nothing came from this, Stein ended up forming a new group, Boomerang, with Galluzi.

Since the band's breakup in 1970, Vanilla Fudge has reunited several times. They reunited in support of the [[Atco Records]] release ''[[Best of Vanilla Fudge]]'' in 1982. This resulted in ''Mystery'', another album of new material, released in 1984.<ref name="LarkinHR"/> Martell was not included in this initial reunion and Ron Mancuso played guitar on ''Mystery'' instead, along with Jeff Beck, who guested under the moniker "J. Toad". Two reunion tours followed in 1987/1988,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vanillafudge.com/vfchron4.htm|title=The Vanilla Fudge Chronicles|website=Vanillafudge.com|access-date=May 10, 2015}}</ref> with [[Paul Hanson (guitarist)|Paul Hanson]] on guitar. Lanny Cordola was guitarist when the band took the stage on May 14, 1988, for Atlantic Records' 40th anniversary celebration. After that, band members went their own ways once again to pursue separate projects.

In 1991, Appice revived the Vanilla Fudge name for a tour with [[Ted Nugent]]'s former band members [[Derek St. Holmes]] (guitar, vocals), Martin Gerschwitz (keyboards, vocals), and Tom Croucier (bass, vocals), which resulted in the album ''The Best of Vanilla Fudge&nbsp;– Live''.

Three of the original members, Appice, Bogert, and Martell, reunited in 1999 with vocalist/organist Bill Pascali replacing Mark Stein to record a "[[greatest hits]]" album, ''The Return / Then And Now '' (2001), with new recordings of previous songs and three new songs.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/then-and-now-mw0000142001|title=Then and Now - Vanilla Fudge &#124; Songs, Reviews, Credits|website=[[AllMusic]]}}</ref> 2002 had Pete Bremy and [[T. M. Stevens]] subbing on bass for an ill Bogert and 2003 saw a release of Vanilla Fudge's live album, ''The Real Deal&nbsp;– Vanilla Fudge Live'', recorded on tour in 1987 with Paul Hanson on guitar.  Martell overdubbed his guitar and vocals later. In 2003–2005, the group toured with Teddy Rondinelli standing in on guitar for Martell.

In 2005, all four original Vanilla Fudge members reunited for a tour with members of [[The Doors]] (touring as Riders on the Storm) and [[Steppenwolf (band)|Steppenwolf]]. Pascali returned in place of Stein for some 2005 and 2006 shows before leaving to join the New Rascals. Vanilla Fudge was inducted into the [[Long Island Music Hall of Fame]] on October 15, 2006,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.limusichalloffame.org|title=Long Island Music Hall of Fame - Preserving & Celebrating the Long Island musical heritage.|publisher=Limusichalloffame.org|access-date=May 10, 2015}}</ref> with [[Billy Joel]], [[Joan Jett]], and producer [[Shadow Morton]]. Fellow Long Islander [[Felix Cavaliere]] of The Rascals inducted them.

In the summer of 2007, [[HBO]]'s final episode of ''[[The Sopranos]]'' featured "You Keep Me Hangin' On" (with Pascali's lead vocals) as a theme for their cliffhanger. The band also went back into the studio to record ''[[Out Through the In Door]]'', a [[Led Zeppelin]] cover album released in 2007 only in Europe. Also, the band (Stein & Martell with Steve Argy on bass and Jimmyjack Tamburo on drums) performed "You Keep Me Hangin' On" for the PBS fundraising program ''My Music: My Generation&nbsp;– The '60s'' for the March 2008 [[pledge drive]].

In March 2008, the original lineup of Vanilla Fudge embarked on a tour of the United States (mostly in New England). But in the summer of that year, Bogert and Appice left to concentrate on [[Cactus (American band)|Cactus]], which they had reformed in 2006. Stein and Martell continued on in 2008 and 2009 as Mark Stein and Vince Martell of Vanilla Fudge with a tour that was called "Let's Pray For Peace," with Jimmyjack Tamburo on drums and Pete Bremy returning on bass.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vanillafudge.com/tourdates.htm|title=Tour Dates|website=Vanillafudge.com|access-date=May 10, 2015}}</ref> ''Out Through the In Door'' was released in the US in 2008.<ref name="autogenerated1">{{Cite web|url=https://www.newsday.com/|title=Newsday &#124; Long Island's & NYC's News Source|website=Newsday}}</ref>{{Failed verification|date=August 2022}} Stein and Martell also performed shows during this period with Steve Argy and Jimmyjack Tamburo again as the rhythm section.

In 2009 Tim Bogert announced his retirement from touring and was replaced later by [[Pete Bremy]].

In early 2011, Vanilla Fudge embarked on what was announced as their farewell tour. The lineup for the tour included Carmine Appice, Mark Stein, Vince Martell, and Pete Bremy (bass). On March 29, 2011, the band appeared on ''[[Late Night with Jimmy Fallon]]'' and performed "[[You Keep Me Hangin' On]]". This lineup has continued to tour since.

In 2015 Vanilla Fudge released its first album in ten years, ''Spirit of '67''.

As of 2021, Vanilla Fudge was still performing concerts regularly. On January 13, 2021, Tim Bogert died at the age of 76 after a long battle with cancer.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/vanilla-fudge-bassist-tim-bogert-dead-obit-1114424/|title=Vanilla Fudge Bassist Tim Bogert Dead at 76|first=Daniel|last=Kreps|website=Rollingstone.com|date=January 14, 2021|access-date=June 15, 2021}}</ref> The band did release (on September 6, 2021) a cover version of "[[Stop! in the Name of Love]]" as digital streaming content and with an official music video on [[YouTube]], dedicated to Tim Bogert.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-09-07|title=Vanilla Fudge Releases Cover Version of The Supremes Classic 'Stop In The Name Of Love'|url=https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/vanilla-fudge-releases-cover-version-of-the-supremes-classic-stop-in-the-name-of-love/|access-date=2021-09-08|publisher=blabbermouth.net}}</ref>
