Just took my youngest on her second ever driving lesson… and let’s just say… I needed chocolate.
Not just any chocolate.
The kind that’s:
✔ Rich
✔ Silky
✔ Deeply chocolatey
✔ Melt-in-your-mouth smooth
✔ Keto approved
✔ Only 2.4g net carbs per serving
This Keto Chocolate Fudge is what low-carb dreams are made of.
It’s simple. It’s luxurious. And it satisfies every serious chocolate craving without wrecking your macros.
Why This Keto Chocolate Fudge Is So Special
Traditional fudge is loaded with:
- Sweetened condensed milk
- White sugar
- Corn syrup
- 30–40g carbs per square
This keto version keeps the indulgence… without the carb overload.
We use:
- Sugar-free dark chocolate
- Heavy cream
- Grass-fed butter
- Powdered monk fruit sweetener
The result?
Velvety, smooth fudge that sets perfectly firm but melts instantly on your tongue.
No graininess.
No weird aftertaste.
Just pure chocolate bliss.
