Who says you need to give up chocolate when you quit sugar? This creamy keto fudge is a great dessert to bring to dinner parties, or a low carb sweet treat when you’re really fighting those chocolate cravings.
This keto fudge recipe is not without “real food” sacrifices. It does use sugar-free maple syrup (Carey’s) and sugar-free vanilla syrup (Torani). If this is cool with you, it’ll be your go-to chocolate dish for pairing with wine, or bringing as dessert to your next dinner party — I have to wonder if anybody would even know it’s a keto fudge! It’s so rich and chocolatey, I think that’s in part due to the Baker’s Chocolate and all the wonderful butter.

All I can find for the Carey’s syrup is regular pancake syrup flavor, which is more like Mrs. Butterworth’s than maple syrup. Is that the one you are using, or do they actually make a maple syrup flavor as well?
I do not know what “ghee” is?
dixiejean I have bought pure maple syrup. It comes in a glass bottle. I think it comes from the tree and I suppose goes through a process of some sort.
JoAnnCheeks It’s clarified butter. Basically, you simmer butter until the whey/lactose separates and then strain it through a cheese cloth. It’s concentrated butter fat, and a lot more solid when cold. It’s great for cooking eggs, or sauteeing veggies. I sometimes like to melt a little into my tea if I’m not in the mood for butter or coconut oil.
amia1013 JoAnnCheeks What she said. 🙂 You can find it on Amazon (I like Tin Star Foods brand, or in the ethnic section of your grocery store usually with the Indian food.) It cooks and stores like an oil, and is usually lactose-free.
dixiejean You could try a different sugar-free syrup as long as it’s low in carbs (some are super high even though they’re sugar free). I think mine says maple-flavored. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a “real” maple syrup that’s truly sugar free and low carb.
Can you replace Ghee with butter/oil?
Ghee is an oil, but it’s super buttery, so I would go with butter for flavor.
Can you use Kerry Gold butter instead of ghee?
For a person with peanut allergy, any ideas of what could replace the peanut butter?
I didn’t use the sweetners and doubled the ghee. Subbed raw almond butter for the peanut butter and added cinnamon and cacao nibs and some Himalayan pink salt
Wicked awesome!!
DEEEEELISHHHH! Tastes like the real thing!
