Keto Fudge Recipe Ingredients

Here are the only 5 simple ingredients you’ll need for easy fudge recipe that’s gloriously low in net carbs.

Chocolate –  Use a dark chocolate that works for your preferred carbohydrate level. I went for an 85% block of dark chocolate for ALDI, which happens to be low carb friendly. You could also use sugar free chocolate chips for a quick, no fuss option in the chocolate fudge.

Cream –  the cream is used to help the chocolate melt without sticking and make the homemade fudge just that little bit creamier. You can use any cream you like – heavy cream, double cream or whipping cream, for example. Or, you could swap to coconut milk if you’d prefer instead.

Butter – I used unsalted butter to create the creamiest fudge. Remove from the fridge for a few hours to soften at room temperature. For a salted, cultured flavor you could use salted butter instead, in the low carb recipe.

Cream Cheese – use a whole 200g tub of cream cheese to create a decadently creamy fudge to enjoy as a low-carb dessert.

Stevia – you can use stevia, monk fruit sweetener, a sugar substitute or whatever low carb friendly sweeteners you like in this keto-friendly fudge recipe to keep it low in grams of carbs, it really depends on what you like to use and your own dietary requirements.

Keep in mind that a powdered sweetener is quicker to dissolve than a granulated sweetener, but either will do and still be low-carb diet approved. (Here’s Stevia on Amazon.)

Extra Optional Ingredients – you can feel free to flavor your  sugar-free fudge by mixing in your choice from a pinch of sea salt, half a teaspoon  vanilla extract, peppermint extract or a few spoons of natural peanut butter or almond butter to create a peanut butter fudge recipe. 

How To Store Cream Cheese Fudge

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Because this recipe contains cream cheese, I wouldn’t recommend storing it at room temperature for extended periods.

You can cut the fudge into individual squares before storing, making it easy to grab a piece whenever you want a small chocolate treat.

Cream Cheese Fudge Recipe

• 100g/3.5 ounces Dark Chocolate
• 2 Tablespoons Cream
• 50g/1.76 ounces Butter, softened
• 200g/7 ounces Package Cream Cheese, softened
• 1/4 Cup Stevia or Sugar Free Powdered Sugar

1. Line a small square baking pan or loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang to make the chilled fudge easy to lift out.
2. Melt chocolate and cream together, either over low heat on the stove top, in a double boiler or in 30 second intervals in the microwave, until melted.
3. Remove the melted chocolate from the heat and allow to cool.
4. In a large bowl, combine the softened butter, softened cream cheese and stevia.
5. Whisk with an electric beater or electric hand mixer until the cream cheese mixture has a smooth and creamy texture.
6. Add the melted chocolate to the large mixing bowl and whisk until the chocolate is fully incorporated and you have a creamy fudge mixture.
7. Move the fudge to the prepared container or baking pan, flatten it down to an even layer and place into the fridge for a few hours to harden to creamy keto fudge.
8. Once the low carb cream cheese fudge has hardened, cut it into bite sized small pieces or small squares, store in the fridge and enjoy.
