Keto Peanut Butter Fudge
Description
This fudge recipe starts by melting unsalted butter and mixing it with peanut butter, powdered sweetener—preferably allulose—and whey protein powder for added texture and protein content. Vanilla extract and a pinch of salt can enhance the sweetness and round out the flavor. The mixture is poured into a parchment-lined tray and frozen until firm, resulting in squares that are easy to portion and hold their shape well.
The fudge offers a rich, creamy mouthfeel with a balanced sweetness without sugar. Freezing rather than baking preserves the integrity of the ingredients and maintains the fudge's dense texture. It is convenient for keto followers seeking a sweet treat that fits their macros.
The fudge can be eaten directly from the freezer or softened slightly by allowing it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes. It can be stored frozen for longer shelf life and cut into 1.5-inch squares for serving.
Using a smaller section of a larger tray for setting the fudge helps concentrate the mixture for the right thickness. This can be achieved by creating a barrier with aluminum foil beneath the parchment paper.
Ingredients
- 1 cup / 260g peanut butter
- ⅓ cup / 60g butter unsalted
- ⅓ cup / 40g powdered sweetener Allulose is best, but any powdered sweetener works in the recipe.
- ½ cup / 35g whey protein powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- pinch salt if your peanut butter is unsalted
Instructions
- Melt the butter and stir all ingredients together with a fork.
- Line a 5x7 inch tray with parchment and pour in the mix.
- Freeze 40 minutes or until set.
- Cut into 1.5-inch squares using a sharp knife. Store in the freezer.
Notes
- The fudge sets best when frozen for at least 40 minutes to achieve a firm texture.
- Use powdered allulose sweetener for optimal texture; other powdered sweeteners can be substituted if needed.
- Cut into 1.5-inch squares and store the fudge in the freezer to maintain freshness.
- Allow fudge to soften a few minutes at room temperature before eating if you prefer a less firm texture.
- If using a larger tray, create a foil barrier under parchment paper to limit the spreading of the fudge mixture.
