About This Recipe

Fudge might be one of the simplest pleasures in life — pure chocolate, smooth texture, and just enough sweetness to make you close your eyes with that first bite. The problem is, traditional fudge is basically a sugar bomb. This Keto Chocolate Fudge with Sea Salt brings all the indulgence you crave without the crash.

This recipe is built around real cocoa flavor and healthy fats instead of sugar. Butter, heavy cream, and sugar-free dark chocolate create that velvety texture, while powdered erythritol or allulose keeps it sweet but keto-friendly. A touch of vanilla enhances the flavor, and a pinch of flaky sea salt at the end makes the chocolate taste even more intense. The contrast of sweet and salty is what makes each bite addictive.

Unlike classic fudge that requires boiling syrup and hitting exact temperatures, this one comes together easily on the stovetop or even in the microwave. You melt, whisk, pour, chill — that’s it. In less than 20 minutes of work, you have a tray of decadent chocolate fudge that tastes like it came from a high-end chocolatier.

The secret to perfect keto fudge is the balance of texture and chill time. Too little fat and it becomes dry; too much and it never sets. This recipe hits the sweet spot — literally. It slices beautifully, stores well in the fridge for over a week, and freezes perfectly for long-term indulgence control (if you can resist eating it all right away).

It’s the ultimate low-carb dessert for holidays, gifts, or your own late-night craving fix. And once you realize how good keto fudge can be, you’ll never bother with sugar again.
