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

just wondering if i missed something? i never noticed where you posted the winners of the coconut butter and stevia giveaways.. where can i find that?
Hi k,
The contest just ended a few days ago, and I haven’t had time to finish choosing winners/posting about it. It’ll be up this week :).
I rarely use sugar, but when I do I go for the real stuff!
Lovin’ this post Katie!! This sinless fudge is amazing
I just made this! Best fudge ever, hands down! Vegan or otherwise :). I added about a T of agave to the mixture, and it really did resemble real fudge! Thanks a ton for a great recipe :).
I think this needs to be at my superbowl party on Sunday. haha
I was addicted to splenda and sweet & low. But I had horrible belly aches and bloating! I recently detoxed from sweeteners which was actually pretty hard, and went with out any sugar substitutes (I don’t do sugar either) but I just go some stevia but its not agree to well with my tummy either. I’m okay as long as I only have one packet a day with my chia tea with a splash of almond milk (yum!) but it was so expensive I really don’t want to just through it out.
I am making some of that fudge once I get the ingredients!
*throw it out rather, haha.

Artificial sweetners taste funny to me, and they give me headaches. I need real food lol.
