Eating keto can be tough during the holiday season. It seems that everything is loaded with sugar, especially all of the traditional holiday favorites.

This one is low-carb and low in calories – so it is a win-win. Plus it is so creamy and chocolaty that you’ll never know it isn’t the real thing.

Here are some commonly asked questions

What type of sugar replacement do you recommend?

For this recipe, you can use your favorite replacement for granulated sugar. I know each person has their own personal favorite based on taste and performance. I have tried this using PureCane, Swerve, and Splenda. All had a similar result.

My personal favorite is King Arthur – Baking Sugar Alternative – 1-to-1 Substitute for Granulated Sugar. It gave me the closest taste to real sugar in all of the ones I have tried so far.

If you happen to prefer a monk fruit blend or something else – you can try that too as long as it is a 1:1 swap.

Eating keto cream cheese fudge comes with a host of benefits that make it an excellent addition to any healthy diet. This type of fudge is made with low-carb ingredients and contains very little sugar, making it a suitable choice for those looking to reduce their carb intake.

How to Make Keto Fudge

1. Line a small 6×8 pan with parchment. Set aside.
2. Combine the butter, unsweetened chocolate, and vanilla in a small saucepan.
3. Heat over medium-low stirring occasionally until the butter and chocolate are melted and you have a smooth, silky consistency.
4. Add the sweetener and heat and stir until the sweetener has dissolved and the mixture is no longer gritty. You don’t want grittiness in your fudge when it is all mixed.
5. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
6. While the chocolate is cooling, whip the cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer until light and fluffy. You can also use a hand mixer for this process.
7. Once whipped, pour in the cooled chocolate mixture and beat again until well combined.
8. Spread the mixture into the prepared pan.
9. Chill in the freezer to set for a few minutes before cutting.

Is keto cream cheese fudge healthy?

Yes, keto cream cheese fudge can be a part of a healthy diet when enjoyed in moderation. As it contains beneficial fats and proteins as well as essential nutrients such as calcium and magnesium, it can be an excellent addition to any health plan.

However, it should not replace other healthy foods in the diet. Enjoying this delicious treat in moderation can be a great way to promote optimal health while indulging your sweet tooth!

What is the best way to store leftover fudge?

Just keep it refrigerated for up to 7 days. I like to make sure it is covered or wrapped tightly with plastic wrap to keep it from drying out. You want to keep it creamy and limiting the exposure to dry winter air is the best way to do that.

You can also transfer it to an airtight container for storage. The key is to make sure it stays cold since it has butter and cream cheese as the main ingredients.

Can this fudge be frozen?

Yes – you can freeze this fudge. Just make sure to keep it wrapped tightly so that the freezer doesn’t dry it out. But this recipe does very well when frozen so you can enjoy a piece or two every once in a while instead of feeling like you need to eat the whole batch within a week.

Can this be made with low-fat cream cheese?

You can use low-fat cream cheese for this recipe. The final result will be less creamy since the fat is where the amazing texture and mouthfeel come from.

Additionally, if you are on a keto diet, fat is your friend. So I encourage you to not use the low-fat version of cream cheese for this dessert.

Can this be made with regular granulated sugar?

Sure! If you are not interested in keeping this keto-friendly, this fudge recipe can absolutely be made with regular granulated sugar. Just be sure to dissolve the sugar completely in the cooking process as you would the sugar substitute.
