Notes
- The solid part from the top of a chilled can of coconut milk
- The Stevia & Erythritol Blend I used can be found here: https://amzn.to/3GhhT6d
- Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge: Add sugar-free chocolate chips to this keto fudge recipe. Chocolate + peanut butter is heaven!
- To make this creamy fudge paleo, use another nut butter like almond butter (peanuts are a legume and therefore not paleo), ghee or coconut oil instead of butter, and a paleo-friendly sweetener like stevia, monk fruit, or coconut sugar. It will no longer be keto if you use coconut sugar. Sprinkle with a little sea salt at the end to really make those flavors pop!
- Store this sugar-free traditional peanut butter fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
- Freeze in a sealed container for up to 3 months. Eat thawed or frozen.
