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

Kattiee!! Open up a sugar-free raw bakery 😀 You could totally do it. I’d eat there every meal. Snacks, too. Fudge makes a good breakfast, right?
Problem is, if I open a bakery, I’d eat all the chocolate merchandise and therefore go out of business ;).
I have some Artisana coconut butter on the way to me. I am literally SO excited I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep. I will ATTACK your yummy coconut butter recipes like there is no tomorrow, starting with this! 😀
Ohmigosh yay! I’m so excited to see how you like it!
Looking yummy like always!
Just say NO to artificial sweetners! These look amazing!!
I try to avoid all artificial sweeteners, except today in the cold medicine aisle I was so overwhelmed by all the choices I ended up getting cough syrup with it– blech. I’ve started buying organic white sugar for baking because since it is more expensive I am more conscious about how much I use!
YUMMY!!!! Love this recipe 🙂
Thanks for bringing up artificial sweeteners. I don’t eat them because they make me sick. I used to eat Sorbital all the time and every night my stomach would be so bloated that I looked 6 months pregnant, so I quit cold turkey and my stomach aches stopped almost immediately!
Same with me! 🙂 That stuff is bad news to tummies!
scrum-diddly-um! xoxo
I’ve tried Splenda a few times mostly out of curiosity (and unfortunately I can’t stomach sugar very well), and every single time I got an awful headache. If I want sugar, I want a little bit of the real thing, not a fake wannabe version of it that’s gonna mess up my insides. 😛
& that fudge looks amazing! More reason for me to go bug my mom about getting some coconut butter! 😀
This looks yum-licious!!! 🙂 I can’t wait to try it! I too am skeptical about the words “sugar free,” because that always means fake sweetener. And ick… But, at least I know how to sweeten the natural way (although I am not one for super sweet things).
Yummmmyyyy!
Lotsa love chica!
