Easy Dairy-Free Sugar-Free FUDGE

So incredibly rich and CREAMY. Smooth, soft and LUXURIOUS. It literally melts in your mouth.

The BEST flavor combo.. dare I say EVER?? Creamy peanut butter & chocolate… but so much healthier than conventional chocolate.

I’m in shock here… Healthy fudge? Count me in!

You don’t need any dairy OR non-dairy substitutes like coconut cream. Just a few simple ingredients you may already have in your pantry.

No sugar (the number one ingredient in traditional fudge!) and no artificial sweeteners either. No erythritol or Swerve. I use a plant-based natural sweetener that has a delicious flavor and no weird aftertaste.

Made in Minutes

These scrumptious little bites take just MINUTES to put together. Less than 10 minutes from start to finish. Because sometimes you don’t have hours to spend on a recipe! 

Simply melt together a few ingredients —

  1. unsweetened chocolate
  2. peanut butter
  3. coconut oil

This is best done on your stovetop. (A microwave is not recommended for this type of chocolate since it tends to seize/harden/get funky)

I don’t have a double boiler, so I just put a glass bowl on a pot of boiling water. It works great! And saves space in my kitchen.

Then pour into silicone molds or a small dish (don’t forget the parchment!), and freeze.

UPDATE: I made another version of this recipe that is simpler and maybe even more delicious! See the notes below the recipe.

Customizable Deliciousness

Sweeten with one of my favorite zero-calorie, all-natural sweeteners: Sweet Leaf Vanilla Creme Stevia Drops.

It just takes a few drops to create all the sweetness you need without the carbs! Can I get a hallelujah?! 

NO added sugar. I STILL can’t believe it myself! You control the amount of sweetness to fit YOUR exact tastes! Customizable chocolate FTW. 

Even my husband, who is NOT a big fan of stevia, LOVED these.

Keto Fudge Bites

Slice these babies into 1″ squares, or make them big. However you want. It’s your fudge.

I love the mini bite-size pieces. Perfect portion control. Plus they’re rich, so smaller is better.

Although I did end up eating more than 1… maybe 4..ish? Hey, being a recipe developer is a tough job, lol. Somebody’s gotta taste it. 😉

But when I let my hubby and kids try it, they kept coming back for seconds and thirds (ok maybe 4ths, too!). This stuff is GOOD.

This recipe makes a small batch, but feel free to double it, if you’re feeding a crowd (or if you’re a pb chocoholic, like me) 😉

Enjoy Straight from the Freezer

You can enjoy this FREEZER Fudge straight from the freezer for a firmer bite – like a bar of chocolate (peanut butter flavored chocolate!! YUM).

OR let it set at room temperature for a few minutes to soften ever so slightly for a fudgy -melt in your mouth- DREAMY treat.

But, hence the name “Freezer Fudge” it’s gotta stay in the freezer or it will melt.

Ingredients

US Customary - Metric
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter - + 1 Tbs for swirling
  • 1 1/2 oz 100% cacao (unsweetened) chocolate bar - chopped, or coconut oil *see notes*
  • 3 Tbs coconut oil
  • 25 drops vanilla stevia - 10 monkfruit drops, or 1 Tbs powdered sweetener to taste
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • Pinch of pink salt

Instructions

  • Fill a small saucepan with a few inches of water. Bring water to a boil over high heat.
  • Place chocolate in a glass bowl on top of the boiling water and let it set for about a minute to melt.
  • Lower the temp to a medium boil. Stir continuously until nearly all the chocolate is melted.
  • Turn the heat down very low and add the peanut butter, coconut oil, salt and stevia. Stir until completely smooth.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Taste and adjust for sweetness & saltiness.
  • Pour into silicone molds or a 5x5 dish lined with parchment overhanging the sides (for easy removal). Swirl a few small spoonfuls of peanut butter on the top.
  • Freeze for 30-60 minutes until set. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

What I used:
Aldi Organic Peanut Butter
Baker's Chocolate, unsweetened
Sweet Leaf Vanilla Creme Stevia Drops  
Keep Frozen and tightly wrapped. Melts if set out at room temp for too long.
For a firm bite, eat straight from the freezer. For a softer fudge texture, allow to sit at room temp for a minute.
UPDATE: You can swap the chocolate bar for coconut oil! Delish! Here is the recipe:
  • 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil, softened
  • 3 Tbs raw cacao powder
  • 25 drops Sweet Leaf vanilla stevia , to taste
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • Pinch of pink salt
    To make: Mix all together and spoon into silicone molds or a small dish lined with parchment. Freeze for about 30 minutes to set, then keep refrigerated (not frozen) for best texture. Enjoy!
Want to use a different sweetener? I would use the equivalent of 1 Tbs sugar, then taste and adjust. I recommend powdered coconut sugar (just blend it for 20 seconds in a blender to make powder). Swerve or other granulated sweeteners would work, too. A pinch of pure stevia powder is another easy swap for stevia drops.
Liquid sweeteners, like maple syrup/honey, may not work as well in this recipe, since they cause nut butters to seize/harden, and also freeze harder, which would not create the fudge texture you want. But it might still be great! If you try a different sweetener, please report back how it goes! 🙂
