Keto Friendly Fudge Flavors & Variations
For some delicious flavour variations here are a few suggestions.
- Citrus zest. Make your keto chocolate fudge jaffa with a teaspoon of citrus zest, extract or a few drops of orange flavoured oil.
- Extracts or drops like Vital Zing Drops are a great way to flavour the chocolate. You can also use keto white chocolate, caramelised white chocolate, milk or dark chocolate to make delicious variations.
- Peanut Butter Fudge – drizzle with sugar free keto peanut butter.
- Spice Mixes – Try something like our Chai Spice Mix, Pumpkin Pie Spices, or Biscoff Spices (from Every Day Keto) to flavour the fudge.
What to Serve with Chocolate Fudge
My favourite choice is a good hot drink. Make your own like Hot Chocolate, Bulletproof Coffee, Chai Latte or Dirty Chai Latte, or my favourite – a good strong black coffee! A good dollop of thick cream on top of the fudge doesn’t go astray, either! 🤣
FAQ’s
Yes, you can. Store it in an airtight container in the freezer. Enjoy it straight from the freezer or defrost overnight in the fridge.

Ingredients
- 110 g (3 ⅞ oz) sugar free nut butter I use roasted smooth peanut butter
- 140 g (5 oz) Chocolate Fibre Syrup
- 100 g (3 ½ oz) sweetener of choice
- 2 teaspoons (2 teaspoons) vanilla extract
- 120 g (½ cups) butter cubed
- 50 g (½ cups) whey protein isolate
- 2 pinches (2 pinches) salt flakes
- 100 g (3 ½ oz) thickened cream or heavy cream
- 100 g (3 ½ oz) dark chocolate I use Lindt 85%
Instructions
CONVENTIONAL METHOD
- Place a saucepan over moderate heat and add all the ingredients. Cook, stirring until smooth and thickened.
- Pour fudge into a lined brownie tin. Refrigerate until firm and cut into serves.
THERMOMIX® METHOD
- Add all ingredients to mixer; cook 22 min/90℃/speed 3.
- Pour fudge into a lined brownie tin. Refrigerate until firm and cut into serves.
Notes
- Thermomix Method: To make this fudge in the Thermomix, ensure the ingredients used are as per the recipe. Follow the specified temperature and time guidelines for optimal results.
- Saucepan Method: If using a saucepan, stir continuously to prevent burning.
- Storage Tips: Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. For longer storage, individually wrap the fudge pieces in parchment paper and freeze for up to three months.
- Ingredient Swaps: Experiment with different sugar-free nut butters and chocolates to create various flavor combinations. Swap the whey protein isolate with your preferred protein powder for different nutritional profiles. For a variation, try using different sweeteners like erythritol or monk fruit sweetener. I use powdered erythritol. I find this sweetener results in a smooth grit-free fudge.
- Roasted Smooth Peanut Butter: For a rich and nutty flavor, opt for roasted smooth peanut butter as it enhances the overall taste of the fudge.

This is the best keto fudge, tastes great. I was hesitant at first because other keto fudge recipes promised but didn’t deliver, but this one is terrific. Definitely a keeper. Thanks!
The combo of peanut butter and chocolate is always a good idea and the fact that there are barely any carbs in this is just the cherry on top! I love a good chocolate dessert and this fudge was delicious!
I have so many family members on the sugar-free diet these days, I’ve been considering a keto dessert plate for holiday handouts this year. This fudge is so easy and yummy I’m definitely adding it to the list!Hi Megan…. what is the conversion of the fibre syrup? I thought it would be in mls as isn’t it a fluid? Please help as I’m really keen to make this fudge. Thanks so much.
This fudge is perfect!! I have made this a couple of times, and I really love how easy it is to make. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe ๐Hi Megan … l have whey protein concentrate. Is this ok to use instead of whey protein isolate. Thanks.
Can someone please respond to my question … thanks ๐
Hi Meganโฆ. what is the conversion of the fibre syrup? I thought it would be in mls as isnโt it a fluid and 140g seems a lot? Please help as Iโm really keen to make this fudge. Thanks so much.Hi Mary, I use weights as they are most accurate. The syrup is heavier than water for cup measures. 140g is accurate for the recipe (it makes a lot of fudge as you can see) and that equates to around 110ml in a cup. If you are making it and have a set of kitchen scale simple place your bowl onto the scale. Tare the weight to zero and add the syrup. Considering the average fudge recipe has about 3 cups of sugar added this recipe is considerably reduced in sweeteners and sweetness.
Hi Cathleen … I’m really desperate to make this fudge and have bought all the ingredients. I’m really puzzled by the amount 5 oz or 140g of the fibre syrup which seems a lot to me and also doesn’t seem right as it should be in mls as it’s a fluid. I’m sending this email to you as you say you’ve made it a number of times and l was hoping you could help me. Thanks Cathleen … Mary
Oh it’s nice to have a low carb treat for the holidays. Fun gift to give out as well! Looks so rich and delicious ๐
So rich and delicious! I loved how truly fudgy it tastes, definitely a keeper for the holidays!
This fudge is amazingly creamy and delicious and I can’t believe it’s so low in carbs. Thanks for this recipe!
I really like it when I find classic recipes made for the keto diet that are as close to the original as possible, and this fudge did not disappoint!
Thanks for such a lovely recipe. Perfect time of the year when festivity is so close. My family to love it.
Thanks for this recipe, absolutely delicious and easy to make too. Going to make some more for gifts at Christmas.I do not have the syrup. How can I increase the use of the Sukrin gold to accomodate not adding the syrup to the recipe? Am way excited to try this recipe, but don’t have the syrup. Have everything else..
The syrup is to help it stay soft. Using only the granular will make it grainy when it is chilled I am sorry. Sadly, keto granular sweeteners have a tendency to recystallise.
When heating all ingredients in a saucepan, how long should this take?? I donโt want to burn the ingredients, however on my first attempt at making this it came out a bit granular still? I thought maybe I didnโt heat (cook) for long enough?? Thanks
PS: Re My prev comment about soft texture, I mean to add that I used the Thermomix (TM6) to make this recipeGOLD SYRUP QUESTION: I’ve got the Sukrin Gold Syrup / Caramel and Syrup. Is this suitable for this recipe? Thanks in advance
Absolutely yes it is.
Thanks!! The taste of this is amazing. It is so smooth and a beautiful flavour combination. However, not sure what I am doing wrong as mine is very soft. It does not set hard enough to cut a square. It has been in the fridge for 24 hours. Mine is done in the Thermomix. I use xylitol for the sweetener. Thanks in advance.
Thank you so much for this recipe Megan, this fudge is amazing and the whole family loves it. Yum, yumxxI am so happy to hear that Anna. Thanks for the review xx
This recipe is absolutely yummoo my only problem is I eat too much of it !!๐๐ฑ
This fudge is amazing. It is in my fridge all the time. I have made it now so many times. My very fussy daughter loves it. It is so easy and makes the perfect gift ๐ if you can bear to part with it. This is one bowl I just have to lick. ๐คฃThanks so much for the review Lucy. I am so happy that you enjoy this recipe
So super easy and really delicious! We substituted Brazil, Cashew and Almond butter for the peanut butter and it’s beautiful. My five year old absolutely loved licking the spoon and then the top of the fudge in the tray LOL!!So glad you and your little one enjoyed Tammy. I too am guilty of licking the spoon.
How easy is this fudge to make and seriously it tastes like real fudge!!. I am going to have to ration the grandkids these school holidays so we have some left for ourselves.!!
Itโs so good knowing I can give them a treat that is sugar free. and itโs a nice treat for us to have with a cup of tea.
This will be a favourite for sure.Super happy it will pass the family “low carb” testing. Let us know what the kids really thought.
Delicious. Subbed tahini for 75 grams of the nut butter as I only had 25 grams was delicious both hot and when set (cold)
Could easily make but free by using all tahiniBloody delicious.
