Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this decadent keto fudge:

Instructions

Step 1: Melt the Butter and Chocolate

Begin by melting the unsalted butter and dark chocolate together. You can use either of the following methods:

  • Microwave: Place the butter and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second bursts, stirring in between until smooth.
  • Stovetop: In a saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients

Once melted and smooth, remove the bowl from heat. Stir in the peanut butter and powdered sweetener. If using, add the vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor. Mix until well combined and creamy.

Step 3: Set the Fudge

Line a small container (an 8×8-inch or similar size works well) with parchment paper. Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture into the lined container, smoothing the top with a spatula if needed. Place the container in the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until the fudge is just set.

Step 4: Cut into Squares

After freezing, remove the container from the freezer. Lift the fudge out of the container using the edges of the parchment paper. Place it on a cutting board. To achieve clean cuts, warm a knife blade under hot water and carefully slice the fudge into 30 squares.

Step 5: Store the Fudge

Store the fudge squares in an airtight container. You can keep them in the fridge for up to 3 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months. This fudge maintains its creamy texture even when frozen, thanks to its high-fat content.

Tips for Success

  • Use Quality Peanut Butter: Choose a natural peanut butter with no added sugars or hydrogenated oils for the best flavor and consistency.
  • Coconut Oil Alternative: If you’re not a fan of coconut oil, you can substitute it with more melted butter or a mix of butter and cream cheese.
  • Storage: Keep the fudge in the refrigerator to maintain its firmness, especially in warmer climates.
