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

This looks like such a yummy recipe, I can’t wait to try it!
On the Splenda note, I used to use it all the time up until about a year ago. I was seriously addicted to the stuff. Then I started noticing that I was experiencing some major health problems…my normally skinny, bony feet were puffed up, and ditto with my normally knobby knees. I had MAJOR edema in my legs, my stomach was bloated, I had migraines, my skin was turning yellow, and I was so on the edge all the time, I could have snapped at any person at any time. I was a basket case. To see if it were the Splenda that was doing it to me, I cut it out of my diet completely, cold turkey (which was HARD, considering I was so addicted to it). Three days later, I was back at my normal size. In my opinion, Splenda is some evil, nasty stuff that should be taken off the market. After all…it was “discovered” when they were trying to make a rat poison. Appetizing :p
Ick… I had a similar–although not quite as scary–experience with sweet-n-low when I was a child. I kept getting really bad stomachaches, and now we think it was from the sweet n low I would put in my iced tea because my mom said it dissolved better than sugar. I do not trust those chemical sweeteners AT ALL!
I know! I really like how some commercial “sugar free” products are using stevia as a sweetener. They should replace chemical sweeteners with stevia all together!
They need to make a stevia-sweetened pancake syrup!
Agreed!! There totally needs to be a petition for that!!!
Google Sweet Misery — This is a documentary about aspertame and how it should NOT be on the market. You will never want to eat or drink anything containing aspertame again. There is schientific proof that this stuff is causing brain tumors, MS, etc.
LOL I don’t even need a documentary… my upset stomach will tell me aspartame is bad news! 😉
Yum! This looks delicious and I want to make it right now! I don’t have coconut butter, though – do you think I can substitute vegan butter?
No clue! If you try it, let me know if it works! 🙂
I don’t think it was too successful. It didn’t set properly, so I put it in the freezer. When I put it back in the fridge, it became more of a pudding. It also tasted realllllly banana-y, which I don’t think is right either. I might just need to make some coconut butter. 🙂 Happy Birthday! 🙂
I’m going to make these tonight, but with date syrup.
I just made this and it is DELISH!!! I think i used a bit too much banana…but not to worry, I just added more cocoa powder…and it’s perfect! Chocolate Pie is next on the list! Yumm!!!
Aww SO glad you liked it!! 🙂
I just made a slight variation of this and threw it in the frig to chill. Delicious! My version used Artisana Cocoa Bliss which has some agave in it the only bananas I had were frozen so I used 1/2 of a froz banana. I still wanted it to be a little sweeter so I added two drops of Sweet Leaf Chocolate Raspberry Stevia. Thank you for this recipe. It’s a keeper!!!
Your version sounds really good!! 🙂
Oh this recipe looks awesome. I’ve been wanting to try out a vegan, sugar free fudge. I’ll be excited to try this one! Thanks! 🙂
You look like a pretty, petite girl. You keep baking stuff like this and you’ll swell up like a sausage in just a couple of months. Then nobody’s going to be interested in chocolate-covered Katie anymore, you know what I’m sayin’?
No no no, you CAN eat the things on my blog and not swell up like a sausage. That’s the whole point of my blog–that EVERYone should be able to enjoy treats. That’s one of the reasons why my recipes are healthier versions of the usual desserts. And I’ve been eating this way for years (and have had this blog for a few years now, too). I eat chocolate every single day. So your “few weeks” theory isn’t holding true ;).
lol – that was a great response
Now if we could translate these recipes into cannabis edibles, I think you would have a HUGE market 🙂
I just made Isa’s Chocolate Pumpkin loaf (http://www.theppk.com/2011/10/chocolate-pumpkin-loaf/) and wanted a frosting recipe to go on top.
I made this fudge substituting pumpkin for the banana! It’s amazing! (I was licking it off the spoon, I haven’t even tried the cake yet).
Give it a try?
Thanks for the link; I will deinitely check it out. I adore Isa!!
