KETO FUDGE- CHOCOLATE MINT
Our double layer chocolate mint keto fudge is the perfect treat when you need something to curb that craving! Make a double batch for holiday parties and pot lucks, they won’t even know it is a low carb/keto recipe.
KETO FUDGE
Chocolate Mint
HEADS UP! Let me start with a little tip- refrigerate the fudge to set, but then let it sit at room temperature for a bit before cutting OR use a warm knife otherwise it won’t cut smoothly. I learned the hard way…. as you can tell by the photos. Meh.
Ok, moving on….
As I have mentioned a few times in my recipes, when I started eating the keto way I set out to “keto-fy” all of my favorite recipes so that I knew I had a plan B should cravings hit. This keto fudge is one of them. Every year around the holidays I make chocolate mint fudge for friends and family. They look forward to it. Last year I let them all know it would be a low carb (or keto) version and for the most part, they all loved it.
Typically what folks find they don’t like when eating a keto or low carb dessert is the sweetener. Natural sweeteners like stevia can be bitter and have a completely different flavor that takes some getting use to. I have adapted and actually know (because I cheated, whoops shhhh) that I no longer like the taste of regular white sugar. If this change hasn’t happened to you yet, hang in there. It will. If not, chances are you weren’t much of a sweets person to begin with.
The process for making this fudge is really easy and , if you prefer to simplify it even more you can omit the top layer and just add the mint extract to the chocolate layer. I have always like the green color for the mint layer, but that is totally personal preference.
