Old Fashioned Keto Chocolate Fudge Recipe
Made the old fashioned way on the stove just like Grandma would, this Keto Chocolate Fudge is a decadent luxury. It's creamy, buttery, rich and chocolatey - exactly how chocolate fudge should be. Make it as a gift or share it at home, and just try to eat only one! This recipe is vegan and paleo too.
Servings: 30 pieces
Calories: 65kcal
Ingredients
- 50 g 1/2 cup cocoa
- 228 g 1 cup coconut cream or heavy whipping cream
- 272 g 1.5 cups sweetener (I used stevia & erythritol blend), see note 2 for paleo options
- 113 g 1/2 cup butter (plant-based, regular, ghee, or coconut oil)
- 54 g 1/4 cup coconut oil, preferably refined
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
- crushed walnuts or nut of choice optional
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 dish with greaseproof or parchment paper and set it aside.
- Add the cocoa, coconut milk and sweetener to a pot on the stove over medium heat.
- Stir until the erythritol is completely dissolved and allow it to simmer for 2 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and add butter, coconut oil, vanilla, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Pour into a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer for about 10 minutes, until it cools and begins to thicken.
- Pour into the lined 8x8 dish and top with a few handfuls of walnuts if desired.
- Allow it cool to room temperature (about an hour) and then set it in the fridge for about 2 hours.
- Tip: for a clean cut, slice with a warm knife, wiping the blade between each slice.
Notes
- Vegan: Use dairy-free butter or replace the butter with coconut oil.
- Paleo: Use 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.
- Use either coconut cream or heavy whipping cream: They both work well on a keto or high fat diet, and both taste amazing in this recipe.
- Beating is important: To avoid a gritty texture from sugar crystals, you must beat this fudge until it cools. I used an electric hand mixer, however, a stand mixer or good ol' elbow grease will also do the trick!
- Other things to add: After beating the fudge mixture and cooling it slightly, add in sugar free chocolate chips or swirl in one of your favorite nuts or nut butters like peanut butter or almond butter.
- Store in the fridge in a sealed container for up to a week!
