Rich, creamy, and decadent sugar-free fudge that takes just 5 minutes to make the perfect low-carb, keto-friendly treat for chocolate lovers.
Ingredients
Scale
-
For the Fudge Base:
-
- 1 cup Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate Chips: The star of the show! Look for a brand you enjoy eating on its own.
-
- 1/2 cup Creamy, Unsalted Almond Butter: This acts as our butter replacement and gives a wonderful, neutral nutty base. You can use peanut butter, but the flavor will be stronger.
-
- 1/3 cup Coconut Oil, refined: Refined coconut oil has no coconut taste. This is what helps the fudge set up firmly.
-
- 1/3 cup Powdered Erythritol or Allulose: These natural sugar-free sweeteners work best for a smooth, non-gritty texture.
-
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract: For that essential warm, bakery-style flavor.
-
- A Pinch of Sea Salt: This enhances all the other flavors and balances the sweetness perfectly.
-
-
Optional Add-Ins:
- 1/4 cup Chopped Walnuts or Pecans: For a delightful crunch.
- A sprinkle of Flaky Sea Salt: For a gourmet salted fudge finish.
Instructions
- 1. Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper.
- 2. In a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, melt the coconut oil (or butter).
- 3. Whisk in cocoa powder, sweetener, heavy cream, vanilla, and salt until smooth and glossy.
- 4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- 5. Add optional toppings like nuts or sea salt if desired.
- 6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
- 7. Slice into small squares and store in the fridge until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use a powdered or confectioners-style sweetener for a silky texture.
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut oil and coconut cream.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
