Rich, chocolatey, homemade sugar free chocolate fudge.
Hearing the words “sugar free” normally makes me think of cloyingly sweet, sucralose-laden desserts or beverages.
Chemical sugars and I do not get along. As a little kid, I put Sweet-n-Low in my iced tea because my mom said it dissolved better than sugar.
However, after a few months of awful stomachaches, we determined Sweet-n-Low didn’t like me very much.
The feeling is mutual. To me, foods with fake sugars tend to taste… well, fake.
But this sugar free chocolate fudge has no fake sugar.
It only has natural ingredients, which is perhaps why it tastes so completely delicious!
You’ll find no Darth Vaders lurking here in this rich, decadent, melt-in-your-mouth sugar free chocolate fudge.
The recipe has two options – both options are free of refined sugar, and use the stevia option if you want it to be 100% free of added sugar as well.
If you’re used to healthy desserts, some readers even say that the banana is sweetener enough – so it’s up to you!
*If you’d prefer a recipe for healthy fudge without banana, be sure to check out either my Almond Butter Fudge or my Coconut Oil Fudge Recipes.
Don’t forget the variations:
Sugar Free Chocolate Fudge
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut butter (120g)
- 1 overripe banana, or 2/3 cup additional coconut butter (160g)
- scant 1/8 tsp salt
- pinch uncut stevia OR 2 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 cup cacao or cocoa powder (40g)
- optional 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- optional 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Make sure your coconut butter is melted before starting. Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Then smooth the fudge into a container or candy molds. Plastic containers work well, because you can pop the fudge right out. Place in the fridge for a few hours, or freeze for a few minutes. You can freeze it for longer periods of time; just be sure to thaw at least 15-20 minutes prior to eating.View Nutrition Facts

Hi, I can’t wait to try this recipe as I’m a massive Fudge fan. Can I use Stevia liquid ? if so, how many drops would you recommend ? My Stevia liquid is 3-4 drops=1 Tsp of Sugar. Also, would you say this is a low carb treat ? I’m on a low carb diet right now.
Thanks. Bret UK
Just a quick question… I have kids allergic to bananas… Any ideas what I could sub?
A banana-free option is listed right there in the post.
oh my goodness these look so good, I am always on the look out for healthy recipes this looks great. Its hard to believe its sugar free. I cant wait to make them, perfect for when I want something sweet. Thanks for sharing.
I’m just seeing this fudge now, so I have to try making it….Thank you!!
At risk of sounding like a whiner, am I the only vegan allergic to soy and coconut? I was glad to see so many non-soy options when I first became vegan, but now I am so sad that everything has coconut in it. Is coconut high in vits and minerals or something that is really good for a lot of people, is that why it seems like it’s everywhere lately? Someone even told me to feed it to my cats *and* put it on a flea bite 🙂
Well, you have so many wonderful recipes here, I’ll surely find one that will work. I drool over every photo!
Just the best recipes you would ever want.
WONDERING… about other bulking foods for sugar free fudge…zuchinni? pumpkin? anything else I can use? MUST be low carb and sugar free…
Hi, Katie! Just want to share on here that I’ve had great success with this recipe using a mix of 50% coconut oil & 50% coconut flour (finely ground) in place of the coconut butter, in hopes it will be of some help to others who don’t have the equipment to make their own. Will be experimenting soon with a mix of only 25% oil, as I suspect I don’t need 50%, and I will report back on how that worked out when I do. Wonderful recipe, by the way. Thanks so much for all you share!
Hello, am I able to substitute coconut butter for coconut oil?
It’s worth a try! Let us know how it works, if you do.
Hi Katie, i absolutely adore you and your recipes. You have saved the day many times for me! I can’t eat Bananas, they just don’t agree with me. Is there a way to make this without them?
You can sub extra coconut butter for that amount and maybe add a little extra sweetener.
I only see Coconut Butter in hte grocery stores – is this the same as Coconut Butter?
My fudge never popped out of the candy molds very good at all. It’s yummy but too soft for molds…
How cold is your freezer? make sure it’s cold enough! Also be sure to use real coconut butter here!
These are not sugar free. So fed up with people saying their recipes are sugar free and then contain honey, sweetners.
So fed up with people not actually reading the recipe before leaving stupid comments. It clearly has a sugar free option you can use. Stevia is sugar free and all natural.
Sorry I’d have to sub the syrup for Erythritol. Because it’s not fake it’s made from fruit and I have auto immune disorders so any sugar maple or not is horrible for my body and actually causes me great amounts of pain, so yeah it really easy for me not to eat sugar any kind!
If I don’t use the banana, is it a 1/2 cup + 2/3 cup of coconut butter or a total of 2/3 cup? Anxious to try this for a Christmas treat!
Just substitute an equal amount of coconut butter for the banana, still adding the original coconut butter too.
While this does look good, it is not sugar free at all. Maple syrup and honey are both sugars. And banana has a lot of sugar too. It might have less sugar than a standard recipe, but it definitely isn’t sugar free. Maybe you could name it healthier fudge? Or banana chocolate fudge? Or naturally sweetened fudge? Or just Katie’s fudge?
