Introduction: Keto Peanut Butter Fudge is a rich, creamy, and decadent treat perfect for those on a low-carb or keto diet. Made with a handful of ingredients, this fudge has a smooth texture and a bold peanut butter flavor without added sugar, making it a guilt-free dessert option. It’s simple to prepare, requires no baking, and can be kept in the fridge or freezer for whenever you’re craving a quick, satisfying snack.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup creamy, unsweetened peanut butter (preferably no sugar added)
  • ½ cup coconut oil, melted
  • ¼ cup powdered erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (optional, if peanut butter is unsalted)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Fudge Mixture

  1. Mix Peanut Butter and Coconut Oil:
    • In a mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil and peanut butter. Stir well until smooth and fully combined.
  2. Add Sweetener, Vanilla, and Salt:
    • Add the powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt if using. Stir until the sweetener is fully dissolved, and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 2: Pour and Set the Fudge

  1. Prepare a Pan:
    • Line a small baking dish (8×8 inches or similar) with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang for easy removal.
  2. Pour the Fudge Mixture:
    • Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing it out with a spatula to ensure an even layer.
  3. Chill in the Fridge:
    • Place the pan in the refrigerator and allow the fudge to set for about 1-2 hours, or until firm. For faster setting, you can place it in the freezer for about 30-40 minutes.

Step 3: Slice and Serve

  1. Cut into Squares:
    • Once set, remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut it into small squares.
  2. Store and Serve:
    • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer to keep them firm. Serve chilled, as the fudge may soften at room temperature.

Tips and Variations:

  1. Add Toppings: Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt or drizzle with melted dark chocolate for added flavor.
  2. For Extra Creaminess: Add 1-2 tablespoons of unsweetened coconut cream to make the fudge even richer.
  3. Storage: The fudge will last up to 2 weeks in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer.
