FAQs

Can I use regular sugar instead of powdered sweetener?

While you can use regular sugar, it will increase the carb count and may alter the texture. Powdered sweeteners like erythritol or monk fruit provide sweetness without affecting the low carb nature of the recipe.

Is it necessary to line the dish with parchment paper?

Using parchment paper makes it easier to remove the fudge from the dish and helps with clean-up. If you don’t have parchment, you can lightly grease the dish instead.
