Today we are sharing a keto chocolate peppermint fudge recipe with only 2 net carbs per serving!
This is an easy low-carb chocolate peppermint fudge recipe with only seven ingredients, and it will only take you 25 minutes to whip up this batch.
No holiday season is complete without keto egg nog, peppermint, and chocolate, am I right?
As much as you may want to deny your sweet tooth during the holiday season, I find it best to be prepared.
When you go to a party or family meal where you know they will be serving desserts, go prepared.
Cut yourself a few small squares, or take the entire pan to share with everyone. It's up to you, but I don't trust my willpower to get me through the holidays.
I know that when I fail to plan, I plan to fail, and I don't want to lose a year's worth of progress because I didn't prep for the sweetest time of year.
Keto Fudge Recipe Ingredients:
Makes 18 servings
2 Net carbs/serving
1 C. Heavy whipping cream
2 Tbsp. Butter unsalted (you can also use coconut oil)
⅓ C. Swerve confectioners sugar substitute (or low-carb sweetener of choice)
½ tsp. Vanilla extract
½ tsp. Peppermint extract
1 Tbsp. Cocoa powder
1 C. Lily's baking chips
Easy Peppermint Fudge Directions:
1. Combine the butter, heavy cream, extracts, Swerve sweetener, and cocoa powder in a saucepan over medium heat on the stove. Whisk to combine all of the ingredients well.
2. Cook down the mixture until it begins to thicken and becomes the consistency of sweetened condensed milk.
3. Remove the mixture from the heat and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes.
4. Mix the baking chips into the warm mixture until they are completely melted.
5. Pour the fudge mixture into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper, and refrigerate for 3 hours before serving.
6. Using a cutting board and plastic knife, cut into 18 small squares. Top with crushed sugar-free candy canes if desired. (See more tips below)
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container (I keep mine in the fridge). Some people prefer them at room temperature, but I think the best keto peppermint fudge is served cold with steaming hot coffee or keto hot cocoa!
Low Carb Fudge Recipe Tips & Variations:
There are so many variations you can make to this fudge recipe using simple ingredients swaps.

Notes
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: When making fudge, the quality of the ingredients is key to achieving a delicious end result. Choose high-quality chocolate, cocoa powder, and peppermint extract to ensure your fudge tastes excellent.
- Use a double boiler: When melting the chocolate and coconut oil, use a double boiler to prevent the chocolate from burning or seizing. A double boiler is a pot filled with simmering water with a heat-safe bowl on top of it.
- Line the pan: Line the pan with parchment paper before pouring in the fudge mixture. This will make removing the fudge from the pan easier once it has been set.
- Use a candy thermometer: Use a candy thermometer to ensure that the fudge reaches the correct temperature. The fudge should reach 240°F (115°C) before you remove it from the heat.
- Chill the fudge: After pouring the mixture into the pan, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until it is firm. This will make it easier to slice into pieces.
- Garnish with crushed candy canes: Sprinkle crushed candy canes on top of the fudge for a festive touch. Just use sugar-free candy canes if you're making keto fudge.
- Store in the refrigerator: Store the fudge in the fridge to keep it firm. It will keep for up to a week in an airtight container.
