Creamy Keto Peanut Butter Fudge
Description
The recipe blends natural creamy peanut butter with unsalted butter, vanilla extract, sea salt, and stevia glycerite over low heat until smooth. Coconut flour is whisked in off heat to add body and structure. The mixture is then poured into a lined pan and frozen until firm enough to cut into squares. The resulting fudge is dense but creamy with a pronounced peanut flavor and gentle sweetness from the stevia.
The fudge benefits from a day in the fridge to firm up properly after cutting, improving its texture. It can be stored cold in an airtight container in the fridge or frozen for long-term storage. Serving chilled or directly from the freezer is recommended, as it softens quickly at room temperature.
For best results, use freshly opened peanut butter as the bottom of jars may be too dry. Stevia glycerite used corresponds to about 3 tablespoons of sugar equivalent and helps maintain a smooth texture.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups peanut butter 24 tablespoons, 384 grams, natural creamy
- 6 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ½ teaspoon stevia glycerite equals about 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
Instructions
- Line a square 8-inch pan (or a similar capacity rectangular pan) with wax paper.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, add the peanut butter, butter, vanilla, salt, and stevia.
- Whisk with a fork until smooth.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the coconut flour.
- Using a rubber spatula, pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
- Cover and place in the freezer until set, at least 1 hour and preferably 90 minutes.
- Cut the fudge into 25 squares and serve.
Notes
- Make the fudge a day ahead and refrigerate overnight for the best texture after cutting.
- Use freshly opened natural creamy peanut butter to avoid dry consistency in the fudge.
- Stevia glycerite used is equivalent to about 3 tablespoons of sugar for smooth sweetness.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for up to three months.
- Serve fudge chilled or straight from the freezer; it softens quickly at room temperature.
