Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened, creamy)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup butter (unsalted)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Melt the Butter and Peanut Butter:
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the peanut butter and stir until fully combined and smooth.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift the unsweetened cocoa powder and powdered erythritol to ensure there are no lumps.
- Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Once the peanut butter and butter mixture is smooth, reduce the heat to low. Add the cocoa powder mixture to the saucepan and stir until fully combined.
- Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, stirring until the mixture is smooth and thickened.
- Set the Fudge:
- Pour the fudge mixture into a small greased or parchment-lined baking dish (8×8 inches works well). Use a spatula to smooth out the top.
- Chill:
- Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 2–3 hours to allow the fudge to set and firm up.
- Serve:
- Once the fudge has hardened, cut it into small squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Tips:
- Sweetener Options: Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less powdered erythritol or a different sweetener of your choice.
- Add-ins: For extra flavor, try adding chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts on top of the fudge before it sets.
- Make It Creamier: For an even creamier texture, increase the amount of heavy cream slightly or use coconut cream.
