Fudge is one of many treats that sounds impossible on a keto diet. After all, fudge is laden with sugar. That’s partly what makes it so tasty in the first place. There is good news – you don’t need to skip fudge on a keto diet.
More importantly, you can create fudge that is low in carbs and may even be good for you. For example, some of the keto fudge recipes on this list act as a good source of healthy fats. They also skip the sugar and rely on alternative ingredients that are healthier all around.
If all of that wasn’t enough – there are some fantastic flavors to be had. Creating keto recipes requires a little creativity, so you’ll find some ingredient and flavor combinations that you simply wouldn’t see elsewhere.

PPS. There are even some white chocolate recipes out there that are delicious keto choices.
Avocado Chocolate Fudge
Avocado makes its way into many keto dishes, so why not include it in fudge too? This recipe from theharvestskillet.com does precisely that. The end result is chocolate fudge that takes advantage of the texture and flavor of avocado.
As the image shows, you don’t need to combine the avocado into the mixture entirely. Leaving chunks of the green flesh makes the fudge look that much more interesting. If that style isn’t appealing, you could always mash the avocado in.
Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Fudge
I found this simple recipe on alldayidreamaboutfood.com. Peanut butter is the main featured flavor, which is always a popular choice. Carolyn also highlights that her fudge does not contain cream cheese. Many keto fudge recipes do and people often love them.
As Carolyn points out, that style doesn’t really have the same taste or texture as traditional fudge. Her recipe aims to be much closer to what you would normally expect. It’s worth checking out for that reason alone.
Almond Butter Fudge
While there are many peanut butter fudge recipes, almond butter variations are much less common. This recipe from ketosummit.com is a good place to begin if you want to try out almond butter fudge. The recipe is easy, taking just five minutes to make. Plus, you only need five ingredients. You probably have most of them on hand already.

Brenda from sugarfreemom.com offers this recipe, which has everything going for it. The combination of white fudge and colored toppings make the fudge look attractive, without seeming too Christmassy (so, you could make it all year around). You could also find sugar free candy of a different color if you wanted too.
Easy Fudge With Cocoa Powder
When she calls this an easy fudge recipe, Maya (from wholesomeyum.com) isn’t exaggerating. You only need four ingredients to make the sweet treat. What’s more, the prep time is just ten minutes. The addition of sea salt on the top helps to make the treat that much more interesting.
Mocha Cheesecake Fudge Fat Bomb
If you don’t want plain old chocolate fudge, what about this mocha version from 730sagestreet.com? The coffee adds an extra depth to the flavor and is certain to be a hit. That’s not the only cool thing. The two-layer style of this fudge helps it to stand out.

Besides, the finished fudge is well worth the effort. You can find the details that you need to make it at ketocookingchristian.com.
Secret Ingredient Mint Fudge
Many mint flavored recipes use artificial ingredients to create a bright color. That’s not the case with this recipe from wholenewmom.com. Instead, Adrienne uses a surprising ingredient to create the green color, without influencing the flavor. The end result keto mint fudge that relies on healthy ingredients. You’ll have to check out Adrienne’s site to find out what that ingredient is.
Peppermint Hemp Fat Fudge
Speaking of peppermint, this recipe from healthfulpursuit.com also uses it as a flavor. The fudge also uses hemp hearts for the benefits that they offer, along with chocolate. The flavor ends up being mostly a chocolate and peppermint combination, which is always fantastic.
The fudge in the image is such a nice shape because it is made using silicone molds. You could do this with some of the other recipes in this list too. Alternatively, you could skip the molds and make this like any other type of fudge.
Salted Chocolate Fudge
Myra from blenderbabes.com takes full advantage of the trend for adding salt to desserts. It’s a good idea. The sharpness of the salt contrasts well with the chocolate. The inclusion of macadamia nuts is a nice touch too, creating an interesting texture.
One thing to mention is that there is some debate over the carb content. This partly depends on the ingredients that you use, so be sure to calculate the net carbs yourself.
Low Carb Walnut Fudge
Here’s another chocolate-focused fudge recipe for you to try. This one uses walnuts, which add to the texture (they provide extra nutrients too!). The fudge can even act as a fat bomb, as they only have one net gram of carbs per serving. You can find all the details on the site ketocoachforwomen.com.

Katie, from chocolatecoveredkatie.com, offers this versatile fudge recipe. Well, the term fudge recipes is more accurate. She highlights various flavors that you can make, providing details of the ingredients needed for each option.

You can also calculate the carb content yourself to find the best flavors to try.
White Chocolate Coconut Fudge
White chocolate isn’t normally a good choice on a keto diet, making recipes like this one powerful indeed. The recipe includes protein powder, which makes it more satisfying than many other keto desserts.
Another advantage is the carb content. A serving of the fudge includes less than two net grams of carbs. That’s pretty impressive. The full recipe can be found at theshrinkingviolet.co.nz.

Speaking of chocolate, here’s a recipe from lowcarbyum.com to try. While most keto chocolate recipes do use dark chocolate, this one has an even stronger focus on the taste of dark chocolate. The final flavor profile is pretty special too. Lisa mentions that the fudge was as popular as a sugar packed version.
The one limitation to be aware of is that you’re making 28 servings, where each serving is two squares of fudge. That amount of fudge is great if you’re making the fudge for multiple people. If the treat is just for you, you might find that you’re making too much.
