Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Base

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup granulated Stevia (or keto sweetener of choice)
  • 1/4 cup salted butter (4 tablespoons)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 9 oz sugar-free dark chocolate chips (e.g., Lily’s)

Topping

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Line an 8×4 loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to allow for easy removal of the fudge later.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, add the heavy cream, salted butter, and granulated Stevia or chosen keto sweetener.
  3. Simmer Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Let it simmer gently for about 15 minutes or until the mixture thickens slightly.
  4. Add Chocolate: Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the sugar-free dark chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the chocolate has fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  5. Pour and Spread: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared loaf pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly.
  6. Add Nuts: Sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans evenly over the surface of the fudge. Gently press them into the fudge to ensure they stick.
  7. Chill: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until the fudge is fully set and firm.
  8. Slice and Store: Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Slice into 12 even squares and store in the refrigerator to keep fresh.

Notes

  • Use a keto-friendly sweetener such as Stevia or erythritol to keep the recipe low-carb.
  • Be careful not to overheat the cream mixture; simmer gently to prevent burning.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the nuts or substitute with keto-friendly seeds.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
  • Allow fudge to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving for softer texture.
