This holiday treat features a smooth, velvety base of melted sugar-free white chocolate and butter infused with a fragrant blend of gingerbread spices. The fudge is thickened with heavy cream to create a rich, melt-in-your-mouth consistency that sets into firm, clean squares after chilling. With its pale cream color flecked with warm notes of cinnamon and ginger, these bites offer a deeply aromatic and sweet low-carb alternative to traditional Christmas confectionery.

About This Recipe

The fudge is prepared by gently melting sugar-free white chocolate chips with butter and heavy cream over low heat until the mixture reaches a glossy, emulsified state. Granular sweetener and vanilla extract are stirred into the warm base, followed by a concentrated spice mix of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice. This process allows the heat to bloom the spices, ensuring the holiday flavors are distributed evenly throughout the dense chocolate before the mixture is transferred to a lined dish to set.

The flavor profile is defined by the creamy, mild sweetness of the white chocolate balanced by the sharp, peppery warmth of the ground ginger and cinnamon. The addition of butter and heavy cream provides a savory richness that rounds out the spice profile, preventing the fudge from becoming overly sweet. Because the recipe relies on low-carb chocolate and sweeteners, the finish remains clean and smooth without the gritty texture often found in traditional sugar-based fudges.

Typically served chilled, this fudge is a practical choice for holiday dessert platters or as a prepared gift during the winter season. The squares maintain their structural integrity best when kept refrigerated, but they can be brought to room temperature shortly before serving to enhance their soft, creamy texture. The finished treat has a simple yet elegant appearance that is often finished with a light dusting of cinnamon or a handful of crushed pecans to add a subtle textural contrast.
