Calories: 153kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- ⅜ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup powdered sweetener
- ½ cup allulose
- 1 serving Peppermint KetoChow*
- ½ cup oat fiber
- ½ tsp acacia fiber
- ¼ tsp peppermint extract
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract optional
Instructions
Prep Before You Start
- Mix your dry ingredients in a heat proof bowl. Set aside.
- Line a heat proof container with parchment paper. Set aside.
Making the Fudge
- Heat a heavy bottomed saucepan on low.
- Add butter, cream, powdered sweetener, and allulose to the pan.
- Allow to heat very slowly on low temperature, stirring constantly to prevent burning the sweeteners.
- Once you see tiny bubbles forming around the edges of the pan, stop stirring.
- Using a candy thermometer, allow the mixture to come to 238℉. Do NOT stir at this point! This can take anywhere from 5-10+ minutes. It's best to let this step happen slowly. Be patient!
- Once your mixture comes to temperature, remove it from heat and pour into the dry mixture.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture together on medium speed for about 5 minutes.
- After 2-3 minutes of beating the fudge, add your extracts. Continue mixing well.
- Once the fudge is thick like brownie batter, transfer to prepared pan.
- Press fudge evenly into the pan and allow it to fully cool on the counter.
- Once fully cooled, cut into bite-sized cubes.
- Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 5 days or in the fridge for several weeks.
Notes
*Swap the Peppermint KetoChow for your favorite flavor or a single serving of your favorite protein powder.
**Add crushed sugar-free peppermints to the top of the fudge before it sets for extra pepperminty flavor and a delightful crunch!
