Keto 3 Ingredient Microwave Peanut Butter Fudge
This easy peanut butter fudge is cooked in the microwave and only needs three ingredients.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup creamy unsweetened peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered erythritol
Instructions
- Line an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Add the butter into a large microwave-safe bowl. Add peanut butter to the bowl, covering the butter. This will prevent the butter from popping and overheating while it cooks.
- Microwave at full power for 30 seconds. Remove and stir with a whisk. If butter is not completely melted, microwave for 30 more seconds and whisk again.
- Add the powdered erythritol to the peanut butter mixture and stir until batter is smooth.
- Place batter back into microwave and cook for 1 minute. Remove and whisk until smooth. This will help the sugar melt into the peanut butter mixture. Microwave for 1 more minute and whisk until smooth.
- Spread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Freeze for about 1 hour or until fudge is cooled and set.
- Let fudge soften for a few minutes and then cut with a sharp knife into 1 inch squares. You should have enough for 18 pieces.
Notes
- For photo purposes, I did cut the fudge pieces a little bigger but this fudge is very rich so I usually cut into 1 inch wide squares (the fudge is about 3/4 inch thick).
- Even if the peanut butter mixture looks smooth after whisking in the erythritol, you still want to heat it up for those extra 2 minutes (at 1 minute intervals) to help dissolve the erythritol.
- I use So Nourished powdered erythritol* You can also use powdered Swerve.
- Make sure to use powdered erythritol because granular will not melt into the fudge.
- This fudge can also be prepared on the stove in a double boiler. Just make sure to heat long enough after the sweetener is added to allow it to melt into the peanut butter mixture.
