Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of sea salt on top before refrigerating.
• Use different nuts like almonds or macadamia for variety.
• If you prefer a smoother texture, skip the nuts altogether.
• Make sure to use a keto-friendly sweetener that measures like sugar for best results.

Storage

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. To enjoy a softer texture, let the fudge sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular sugar instead of Stevia?

You can, but it will increase the carb count and change the nutritional profile. For keto purposes, it’s best to stick with low-carb sweeteners like Stevia.

Can I freeze this fudge?

Yes, you can freeze the fudge for up to a month. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe container. Thaw in the fridge before serving.

Ingredients

Fudge Base

• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/3 cup granulated Stevia (or keto sweetener of choice)
• 1/4 cup salted butter (4 tablespoons)
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 9 oz sugar-free dark chocolate chips (e.g., Lily’s)

Toppings

• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to allow for easy removal of the fudge after chilling.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, salted butter, and granulated Stevia or your preferred keto sweetener.
3. Simmer the Mixture: Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Bring it to a gentle simmer and continue to simmer for 15 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
4. Add Chocolate: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately add the sugar-free dark chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Pour and Spread: Pour the chocolate mixture evenly into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the surface with a spatula.
6. Add Nuts: Sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans evenly over the top of the fudge. Gently press them into the surface so they stick.
7. Chill: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until it is completely set and firm.
8. Slice and Store: Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into 12 equal squares and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

• For best texture, ensure you use sugar-free dark chocolate chips suitable for keto diets such as Lily’s.
• You can substitute walnuts with pecans or other nuts according to preference.
• Press nuts gently into the fudge to prevent them from falling off when serving.
• The recipe requires refrigeration time, so plan ahead to allow at least 4 hours for setting.
• Store fudge in the refrigerator to maintain firmness and freshness.
• Do not overheat the cream mixture to prevent breaking or burning the fudge base.
