Sometimes you need a super sweet, decadent, and rich treat. That is when you should reach for this brown sugar peanut butter fudge recipe! Don’t let the name of this recipe fool you- it may be called “brown sugar” but it is completely keto-friendly and low carb thanks to the amazing So Nourished Gold erythritol and monk fruit blend. It tastes like rich brown sugar but has none of the carbs which means you can eat all the fudge you want!
Making fudge is actually quite easy. In fact, our recipe only requires 5 ingredients, many of which you probably already have in your pantry. To make this fast fudge, you need to melt peanut butter, the brown sugar substitute, and coconut oil in a pot. Then, the melted mix is combined with the remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor and pureed until nice and smooth. Pour the fudge into a greased pan and let it chill. That is it! Did you ever think that homemade fudge could be so easy?
While traditional fudge recipes ask you to cook sugar to a certain temperature, our recipe skips this step completely as it really isn’t necessary when you are using thick, stabilizing ingredients like peanut butter and coconut oil. YOu also won't need any fancy kitchen tools like a candy thermometer when you make this recipe. When these ingredients are placed in the fridge, they will help set the fudge, making it firm. You can even pop it into the freezer to set up even faster, giving you that treat you are craving right away! It still has that perfect fudge texture that you love without the extra hassle of cooking the sugar correctly.
If you want your fudge to be even more solid and stiff, you can cook the peanut butter, So Nourished Gold and coconut oil for about 2-3 minutes longer. This will evaporate more water and make the brown sugar fudge even more sturdy! However, keep the recipe the same if it is a chewy, sweet treat you are looking for.
You can easily substitute the peanut butter for smooth almond butter, giving the fudge a whole new flavor. Use the same quantity of almond butter and consider replacing the vanilla extract as well, using almond extract in its place. Folding in a few sliced almonds before pouring the batter into the pan is another tasty addition that you can try. Cut the fudge into small, bite-sized pieces and dip each piece in melted dark, unsweetened chocolate. Now you have just created fudge truffles! Who could resist that?!
Rich and flavorful sweets are totally attainable when on a low carb diet, you just need to know which recipes to use! Clearly, this recipe is a total winner and will surely satisfy any sweet craving you may be having. Make it for yourself to enjoy during the week anytime you need a sweet treat or make a big batch to wrap up and give as gifts- everyone will love this fudge!
