Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Unsweetened baking chocolate
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Sugar-free sweetener (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit blend)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy removal of the fudge later.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the unsweetened baking chocolate and heavy cream over medium-low heat. Stir frequently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add the unsalted butter to the saucepan and stir until it is completely melted and the mixture is well combined.
Gradually add the sugar-free sweetener to the chocolate mixture, stirring continuously to ensure it dissolves completely and smoothly.
Add the vanilla extract and salt to the mixture, stirring to combine. Continue to heat and stir until the mixture thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
If using chopped nuts, fold them into the chocolate mixture at this stage.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared 8x8-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about an hour, then cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
Once set, remove the fudge from the baking dish using the parchment paper or by loosening the edges with a knife. Cut into 16 equal squares.
Store the sugar-free chocolate fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
