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!

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

well its that time of the month and the chocolate cravings are hitting me hard but i dont want to gain 15 million pounds, so this recipe is calling my name (:
I put in half the amount of oil the recipe was called for, and it turned into a mousse! Even though I initially wanted fudge… it was DELICIOUS!
Hello Katie,
I am slowly going all natural. It gets hard with a 17 year old boy in the house. I recently made your black bean brownies and they tasted fudgie. I also began using coconut milk and agave in my tea rather than flavored creamer. I can feel the difference. Thank you for your awesome recipes. I am working through them and enjoying sharing them on Facebook.
Thanks for making it, Joanne!
Hi Katie!
Will this work if I use unsweetened coconut threads instead of coconut butter? It wouldn’t turn to butter in my food processor, and the coconut butter is too expensive to buy. Love your blog so much!

I’m on a sugar free diet and I love this fudge and make it all the time. Today I tried something a little different and it’s fantastic. I added 3/4 cup of rolled oats. They taste very close to the real thing which we call hamburger cookies but others call chocolate drops and many other names. Once I start using sweetener again I might add a little Agave 🙂
When you make the sugar free chocolate fudge can you taste the banana?
Dont like bananas with my goodies.
Any suggestions for healthy flourless bread or muffins?

I tried to make coconut butter but it didn’t turn out as planned, so I used the coconut powder that I had and replaced the rest with peanut butter! I didn’t have bananas so I ended up using more peanut butter too. And the peanut butter I have is made with coconut oil! It turned out to be delicious, and now it’s sitting in my fridge. Excited for dessert tonight!
Hi Katie, is there any substitution for coconut butter in this recipe?
Tia and Tamera just posted about this on their fb 🙂 was nice to see a familiar face!
I’m so torn right now! I was just about to go to bed, but instead I’m sitting here staring at this chocolate bliss and debating over whether or not to head up to bed or into the kitchen to make this! This recipe sounds genius! So, whether it happens tonight or tomorrow morning…I’m really looking forward to making this fudge!
