Introduction

This Low Carb Cream Cheese Fudge is a rich and creamy treat perfect for anyone watching their sugar intake. It combines smooth cream cheese and unsweetened chocolate for an indulgent dessert that’s quick and easy to make.

The image shows several pieces of low carb cream cheese fudge stacked on a white surface with a white marbled texture. Each piece is a thick square with smooth, creamy chocolate brown layers. The fudge appears soft with a slightly firm outer edge and a lighter brown, spongy, and dense inner texture. The surface of the fudge is smooth with small air holes visible inside. The pieces are arranged slightly unevenly, showcasing their thickness and texture clearly. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter (salted)
2 oz. Bakers unsweetened chocolate
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
8 oz. package cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup sweetener such as Splenda or stevia (adjust to taste)

Instructions

Step 1: Place butter and unsweetened chocolate in a small pan over low heat. Stir gently until just melted.
Step 2: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and your chosen sweetener until well combined.
Step 3: In a medium bowl, add the softened cream cheese. Pour the chocolate mixture over the cream cheese.
Step 4: Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture for about 2 minutes until smooth and fully blended.
Step 5: Grease a 6 x 8 inch pan and pour in the fudge mixture evenly.
Step 6: Freeze the fudge until firm, then cut into squares and serve.

Tips & Variations

Use your favorite low-carb sweetener and adjust the amount for desired sweetness.
For a firmer texture, chill the fudge in the refrigerator for a few hours before cutting.
Add a pinch of sea salt on top before freezing for a salty-sweet contrast.
Mix in chopped nuts or unsweetened shredded coconut to vary the texture.

Storage

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to one month. If frozen, allow it to soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving for optimal texture.

How to Serve

The image shows a white plate on a white marbled surface, with large smooth rectangular slabs of milk chocolate fudge placed flat on one side. In front of these slabs, there are several smaller cube-shaped pieces of the same fudge stacked loosely in a pile. The fudge has a creamy texture with visible smooth swirls on the top and a solid, slightly fluffy interior. The rich brown color of the fudge contrasts with the white plate and detailed marbled background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular sugar instead of sweetener?

Yes, but using sugar will increase the carb content and change the texture slightly. It may also take longer to set firmly in the freezer.

Can I make this fudge without cream cheese?

The cream cheese is essential for the creamy texture of this fudge. Omitting it will result in a different consistency and flavor.
