Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge
Description
The fudge begins by gently melting the butter and dark chocolate together, either in short microwave bursts or over low heat on the stovetop, to create a smooth base. Once combined, creamy peanut butter and powdered sweetener are stirred in to integrate sweetness and nutty flavor. This mixture is poured into a parchment-lined container and frozen until firm enough to slice.
After chilling, the fudge is cut into squares using a warm knife to prevent sticking. The high-fat content keeps the texture creamy, even when cold. The recipe notes that 2 grams of net carbs are present per fudge square, making it suitable for those following ketogenic diets.
Storage options include refrigeration for up to three weeks or freezing for three months, allowing flexible serving over time. Variations in chocolate type or sweetness levels are possible by adjusting the powdered sweetener amount and selecting different chocolate bases such as unsweetened or sugar-free chips.
Ingredients
- 3.5 oz butter 100g, unsalted
- ¾ cup peanut butter 200g
- 3.5 oz dark chocolate 100g (I used 90% cocoa solids)
- 2 tablespoon powdered sweetener or more, to taste
- vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- Melt the butter and the chocolate. You can do this in the microwave in 30-second bursts. Or, melt them in a saucepan on the stove over low heat.
- Remove the mixture from the heat. Stir in the peanut butter and powdered sweetener.
- Pour the mix into a small container lined with parchment paper and freeze it for 30 minutes or until just set.
- Remove the container with the fudge from the freezer. Lift the fudge in the parchment paper and place it on a chopping board. Warm a knife blade under hot water and cut the fudge into squares.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the freezer or in the fridge.
Notes
- Each fudge square contains approximately 2g net carbs, making it keto-friendly.
- You can substitute 90% dark chocolate with unsweetened or sugar-free chocolate chips; adjust sweetener to taste accordingly.
- The fudge remains creamy even when frozen due to its high fat content.
- Store the fudge in the fridge for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months to maintain freshness.
