3 Ingredient Healthy Chocolate Fudge
This chocolate fudge is smooth and creamy and just 3 ingredients. It doesn't contain any refined sugar, dairy or butter.
Ingredients
- 2 oz (57 g) unsweetened chocolate, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp (160 g) unsweetened natural peanut butter
- 3-4 tbsp (44 ml- 59 ml) honey
Instructions
- Line an 8 inch x 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Add chocolate to a large microwave-safe mixing bowl. Heat in 15-30 second intervals, stirring in between with a spatula until chocolate is completely melted and smooth. You can also melt the chocolate on the stove using the double boiler method.
- Add the peanut butter to the chocolate. Mix with a spatula until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and no streaks of peanut butter remain. The mixture should be smooth and uniform in color.
- Stir in the honey and mix until it is fully and evenly incorporated. You can start with 3 tbsp and taste and adjust as needed. I usually add 3-4 tbsp. You can add a little more than that but if you add too much then your fudge will not set. Your mixture should thicken slightly after stirring in the honey.
- Pour your mixture into your lined loaf pan. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly across the pan and smooth the surface.
- Place the fudge into the fridge until set. This should take about an hour. Once it is firm, remove it from the fridge and cut the fudge into pieces using a sharp knife. Fudge should be enjoyed soon after it is removed from the fridge. If it sits out at room temperature it will become a little too soft to hold so any uneaten fudge should be stored in the fridge.
Notes
- This recipe needs honey or a similar thick sweetener to work. See post for more details.
- If you prefer to use dark chocolate instead of unsweetened chocolate, you will need to use about 1 cup of chopped dark chocolate or dark chocolate chips. You could also skip the honey if you find the dark chocolate provides enough sweetness.
- If you want to make this low carb or keto-friendly, you can substitute the honey with a keto-friendly honey or syrup. Just make sure it is a thick syrup and not a thin syrup. Alternatively, you can also skip the syrup and use a sugar-free sweetened dark chocolate. If you use sugar-free dark chocolate, you will need about 1 cup of chopped sugar-free dark chocolate.
