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

Katie,
This fudge turned out amazing! I was skeptical when making my own coconut butter since the shredded coconut stayed in a powder-y form after blending. I went ahead and tried the recipe any way and it turned out perfectly! The texture is identical to fudge without being too rich. Love!

Thank you so much for the recipe — it was exactly what I was looking for!
What a great recipe!! Bookmarked!
I want to live in your house. Or be the lucky neighbor you give your extra fudge too. Although I doubt there is any leftovers, this looks fantastic!!
Made this over the weekend after waiting for my banana to get extra ripe 🙂 I added about 2 tbs. sugar. My kids didn’t like it. It’s not the sweet fudge they were expecting and had a banana taste to it, but the texture is right on! I couldn’t stop eating it!
I have had the gastric bypass and I have been looking for low calorie desserts. This one sounds really good. My question to you, do you have the nutritional values so I can factor it into my diet? I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!
I’m curious why you are labeling this “sugar free” while calling for powdered sugar or maple syrup. Sugar free means there’s no sugar. It doesn’t mean that it’s free of artificial sweeteners.
Yes, this looks quite yummy, however I think you need to go back to the drawing board on this one, or at the very least relabel it. I really question how you can post this as a “sugar free” recipe.
You are suggesting powdered sugar or maple syrup. That’s sugar. Powdered sugar is made from pure cane sugar and has cornstarch in it to improve its texture and ability to flow. Unless someone is using pure, organic maple syrup, there is high fructose corn syrup (as well as a host of other ingredients), so if someone is trying to avoid corn and corn syrup, they’re SOL. The stevia is the only thing suggested that might be considered “sugar free.” However, you are including a “very ripe banana” in the recipe, and the riper the banana, the higher the sugar content. This is a terrible recipe for someone who has to watch their sugar and cannot even remotely be considered “sugar free.”
Please consider reworking or relabeling your recipe.
This looks amazing, and since Christmas is fastley approaching I would love to try to make this! I was just wondering if you would happen to know the nutrition facts? I mainly care about the carb count because I am pre-diabetic, and would love to have these, but need to know serving size with carb count? If at all possible!! Thanks so much and I LOVE your recipes!!!!
